Welcome to RochesterShockwave.comThis site was created to introduce the Rochester area to a revolutionary new, non-surgical, therapy for Plantar Fasciitis, commonly known as heel spurs. Plantar Fasciitis is a painful and potentially debilitating condition that often affects those who are overweight, stand for long periods while working, athletes and others. If you are experiencing pain in your feet, particularly in the morning, you may have Plantar Fasciitis.

Plantar Fasciitis is treatable and treatments include rest, physical therapy, heel cushions, non-steroid medications and other podiatry therapies. Approximately 10% of patients experiencing this condition have had to resort to surgical intervention. Now Rochester Shockwave offers Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy or ESWT as an alternative to surgery. ESWT is an out-patient treatment administered in our offices by trained Podiatrists. Recovery time is very short, 24-48 hours compared to 3-4 weeks for surgery, and you can then resume ordinary activities.

To learn more about Plantar Fasciitis and Shockwave Therapy please read our FAQ or call our offices at (585)424-2420 for more information.
