General therapy of heel spur – something that many of you have already completed
Most of the patients have tested at first various “proven procedures” from every ointment, packs, and sprays around directly to heel till irradiation. (We don’t recommend our patients an application of corticoids or irradiation because of their possible side effects.) After failure of these methods of treatment we apply a shock wave because of its great effect.
Heel bone spur therapy by shock wave
Individual impulses are applied to skin with adjusted intensity and frequency of strokes.
- the maximum depth of mechanical effect of the wave is 3,5cm
- instant cut-down of tissue tension – progressive reduction tentacle pains
- analgetic effect
- raising local vascular and metabolism
- raising absorption of calcium deposits in muscles and tissues
- raising production of bone tissue (healing of fractures)
This therapy usually includes 3 – 6 sessions in the course of c. seven days.
Our results of heel bone spur therapy with help of shock wave are 97%.
The use of acoustic shock wave eliminates not only symptoms of disease but mainly its cause.
