ADVANCED NON-SURGICAL RELIEF AT DYKER PARK FOOTCARE

Shock Wave Therapy for Heel, Arch & Tendon Pain

What Is Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT)?

Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) is a modern, evidence-based treatment designed to relieve stubborn foot and ankle pain—without injections or surgery. Our Podiatrists use this leading technology to help patients with chronic conditions such as plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis, and other soft tissue injuries. ESWT uses precisely calibrated acoustic energy (shock waves) delivered through the skin to target damaged tissue.

How Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) Works

Shock wave therapy addresses pain at its source by activating the body’s natural repair mechanisms. When the acoustic waves are applied to injured tissue, they may:

• Stimulate blood flow (revascularization) to areas with poor healing

• Promote cellular regeneration and collagen production

• Break up chronic inflammation and micro-scar tissue

• Modulate pain signals by affecting nerve sensitivity

This combination helps “restart” the healing process in tissues that have become stagnant or degenerative over time.

Conditions Commonly Treated

At Dyker Park Footcare, Shockwave Therapy is commonly used for:

• Chronic plantar fasciitis (heel pain)

• Achilles tendonitis and tendinosis

• Arch pain and ligament strain

• Heel spurs associated with inflammation

• Overuse injuries in athletes and active individuals

What to Expect During Shockwave Therapy

Each session is performed right in our Brooklyn office and typically lasts about 15–20 minutes. No anesthesia is required, and patients can return to most normal activities immediately afterward.

Most treatment plans involve a series of sessions over several weeks. The procedure is well tolerated, with patients often describing a mild tapping sensation during therapy.

Many patients begin to notice improvement after the first or second session, with continued progress over a 3–5 week period as the healing response builds. Because ESWT enhances your body’s own repair system, results tend to develop gradually and last longer than temporary pain relief options.

Our goal at Dyker Park Footcare is to help you avoid unnecessary downtime and invasive procedures. ESWT is especially valuable for patients who want to stay active, including runners, fitness enthusiasts, and busy professionals.
