Typical treatments and conservative measures can be great, but podiatry often pushes the boundaries of wellness technology, embracing modern treatment methods to resolve all sorts of specialized problems.
The team at Atlantic Foot & Ankle Specialists knows that each foot is unique, and so are many of the conditions they can suffer from. That’s why we thought we’d write this blog post on three powerful new treatment options we want our patients to know about: Laser therapy, shockwave therapy, and stem cell treatments. Let’s dive in!
Toenail Laser Surgery: Goodbye, Stubborn Fungus!
- Painless and precise, laser treatments target the fungal pathogen at its core, eradicating it in just a few sessions.
- Say hello to clear, healthy nails once growth resumes– and welcome back the confidence to finally rock those open-toed sandals!
The Perks:
- No scalpels, no stitches – just targeted laser beams for a comfortable experience.
- High success rates. Studies show significant nail clearance with minimal risk of side effects.
- Faster recovery! Ditch the months of messy topical treatments and embrace more rapid regrowth of healthy nails.
ESWT: Shockwaves for Stubborn Pain
- ESWT (Extracorporeal ShockWave Therapy) uses targeted sound waves to stimulate tissue healing deep within your foot, tackling chronic conditions like plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendonitis.
- Skip the endless cycle of ice and pain relievers; get back to pain-free activity in a few sessions.
The Perks:
- Say goodbye to surgeries for chronic pain. ESWT offers a comfortable alternative!
- Studies show significant pain reduction and improved function for various foot conditions that feature persistent discomfort over time.
- Faster recovery gets you back on your feet sooner with accelerated tissue healing compared to traditional treatments.
Stem Cell Therapy: Regenerating Naturally
- Harnessing the body’s own regenerative power, stem cell therapy is changing the game when it comes to the treatment of damaged tissues.
- When injected into injured areas, they stimulate healing and regeneration at a cellular level, offering hope for chronic conditions that were once considered irreversible.
- Alleviates joint pain, improves cartilage health, and even promotes nerve regeneration!
The Perks:
- A low-risk approach to tissue regeneration.
- Early research shows exciting possibilities for treating various foot conditions like arthritis and foot ulcers.
- Tailored stem cell treatments offer the potential for targeted and effective rejuvenation.
