Extracorporeal Shockwave Treatment for Heel Pain
Pain in the heels and arches is such a pervasive complaint in our
clinic that in 1995 we established specific protocol, based on the best
available research, to address the needs of patients suffering from pain
in their heels and arches. The establishment of these protocol was
prompted by the realization that vast numbers of people suffer with heel
and arch complaints for months, and even years, without relief. This was
particularly frustrating in light of the fact that most heel and arch
pain responds readily to a properly prescribed conservative treatment
plan.
Anyone suffering from heel or arch pain is a candidate for the Foot
and Ankle Center Heel and Arch Pain Protocol. Several specialized
protocol have been established for patients with special needs. These
include:
- Athletes
- Arthritis patients
- Pregnancy related heel and arch pain
- Patients with previous treatment failure: Surgical or
Conservative
Our goal is to provide long-term relief of heel and arch pain in the
most conservative manner possible.
Drs Hale and Huppin are uniquely qualified to help you relieve your
heel and arch pain. Both are experts in the diagnosis and treatment of
these problems -- including the use of specialized foot orthotics in
treatment of heel and arch pain. In addition, Dr. Huppin has specialized
training in foot biomechanics and Dr. Hale is an expert in, and one of
the first physicians in Seattle to perform
Extracorporal Shockwave
Therapy. He is also an expert in endoscopic and open surgery in
treating plantar fasciitis related heel pain. Both doctors emphasize the
use of all available conservative treatments before considering surgery.
