ESWT (Shockwave) Therapy

BUNIONS AND EWST - THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE TO SURGERY IN AUSTIN

Is extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) a tool to help prevent bunions from needing surgery?  The research and our clinical experience in our office in Austin would say, “yes”, there is hope outside of surgery, for bunion sufferers.  Follow our methods and greatly reduce your odds of needing surgery.
​
You take around 30 million steps every decade, and a bunion could easily develop over that time period. The result of a bunion (big toe and sometimes the little toe):
  • bend inward at the tip
  • have hardened connective tissue 
  • are encumbered by scar tissue 
  • have calcium deposits in the joint
  • have inflamed joint(s)
​

You will be given a comprehensive evaluation and treatment plan for your bunions in our office. Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy is the leading tool that we offer due to it's ability to:
  • eliminate scar tissue, in the joint
  • soften tendons, that cross the joint
  • mobilize the joint
  • stimulate new collagen production
  • work without side-effects

Other complimented to EWST & bunion care may be:
  • manual joint mobilization
  • toe stretching braces
  • shoe toe spacer
  • footwear evaluation
  • foot strengthening exercises
  • postural evaluation/correction
Over the course of your lifetime, on average, you will have walked 4 times the distance of the circumference of the Earth. No matter how much you walk, your feet deserve the best care possible and we strive to offer you that care. 
Plantar fasciitis is another foot problem, that may accompany your bunions. It can also be addressed with EWST.
