Regenerative Shockwave Therapy

The Shockwave + EMTT Advantage: A Protocol for Superior Results

Our Regenerative Magnetic Therapy is backed by a growing body of clinical research showing remarkable outcomes for the most stubborn foot and ankle conditions.

We enhance the proven power of Storz Shockwave Therapy by combining it with Regenerative Magnetic Therapy (EMTT) to create a synergistic healing effect. This protocol allows us to achieve faster, more complete recoveries for our patients.

Discover a powerful, non-invasive therapy that uses acoustic energy to stimulate your body’s own healing and regeneration processes, with a success rate of up to 91% for chronic conditions like plantar fasciitis.

Are You “Stuck” With a Chronic Injury That Won’t Heal?

You’ve tried rest, ice, stretching, and maybe even painful injections, but the nagging pain from your plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis, or other chronic injury persists. You’re frustrated with the lack of progress and looking for a real solution that addresses the root cause of the problem, not just the symptoms.

Many chronic conditions are stuck in a non-healing state because of poor blood flow, disorganized scar tissue, and chronic inflammation. To break this cycle, you need a therapy that can restart the healing cascade and regenerate healthy, functional tissue.

The Storz Difference: The Gold Standard in Shockwave Technology

Regenerative Shockwave Therapy is a highly effective, evidence-based treatment that uses acoustic sound waves to create a powerful healing response in your body’s tissues. The technology was pioneered for medical use and brought to market by the world-renowned Swiss company Storz Medical. With a history of unmatched quality and innovation, Storz is globally recognized as the gold standard in shockwave technology, and we are proud to use their industry-leading systems in our clinic to ensure our patients receive the best possible care.

It’s crucial to understand that not all shockwave is the same. Our advanced Storz system allows us to provide two distinct types of therapy, tailored to your specific condition:

• Radial Shockwave (EPAT): This uses a lower-energy, dispersed pressure wave that is excellent for treating more superficial conditions and larger areas. It works to increase blood flow, reduce inflammation, and break down scar tissue.
• Focused Shockwave (ESWT): This uses a higher-energy, targeted sound wave that can penetrate deep into the body to a precise point. This is the gold standard for treating deep tendon injuries, non-healing fractures, and breaking down calcifications.

By having both technologies, we can create a comprehensive treatment plan that addresses both the superficial and deep components of your injury, which is a key reason for our high success rates.

A Foundation of Science: The Clinical Proof Behind Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave therapy is one of the most researched non-invasive treatments in musculoskeletal medicine, with the highest level of evidence for many conditions. The clinical results for foot and ankle problems are outstanding:

For Chronic Plantar Fasciitis:

• Shockwave Alone: A landmark study showed focused shockwave has a success rate of up to 91%.
• The EMTT Advantage: To elevate these results, we add EMTT. A recent multicenter trial found that patients who received EMTT in addition to shockwave saw a 73% reduction in their “first-step” pain, and their final pain score was 40% lower than the group that only received shockwave.

For Achilles Tendinopathy:

• Shockwave Alone: For this notoriously difficult-to-treat condition, studies show a success rate of up to 88%.
• The EMTT Advantage: We enhance this healing by incorporating EMTT, which has been shown in studies to provide a 72% average reduction in pain and significant functional improvement, with 8 out of 10 patients reporting good to excellent results.

For Bone Healing (Stress Fractures & Non-Unions):

• Shockwave Alone: High-energy focused shockwave is a powerful non-surgical option, with studies showing an incredible 87% union rate for non-healing fractures by stimulating bone-forming cells (osteoblasts).
• The EMTT Advantage: We accelerate this process with EMTT, which basic science research has demonstrated works at the genetic level to upregulate the genes associated with bone formation and accelerate matrix mineralization—the building blocks of bone repair.
