Shockwave Therapy ESWT for plantar fascia and Achilles area
I am very pleased and impressed so far with the
lessening of my pain in my plantar fascia and Achilles area from the
shock wave therapy. A much deeper relief than all the cortisone
injections that I have received in the past. I just read yesterday, on a
web site, that I should not be taking anti inflammatory medication in
order to facilitate the best outcome. I discontinued the ibuprofen that I
take, for my degenerative disk disease, and will substitute Tylenol,
for now. My nerve pain in the left foot, from the anesthesia, is also
slowly improving. I cut the toe out of a pair of wool socks, triple
rolled them and use them at night, over my heels and ankles. This has
protected the nerve from bumps and keeps the area warmer, feels great
and seems to facilitating over all recovery. Backed off the B vitamins,
as the niacin was burning me up. The custom orthotics with my new roll
bar New Balance shoes are outstanding, I cannot say enough. As a Fire
Fighter my plantar faciitis and Achilles tendinitis was so debilitating
that I was afraid that I may not make it to retirement, but that has all
changed.
Thanks Dr Kevin Lam, see you on the 24th for my follow up.
