Podiatrists In Silver Spring Offers Noninvasive Treatment For Heel Pain

    SILVER SPRING, MD, June 09, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- With technology constantly advancing, Drs. Goldberg, Farnworth and Frank, Silver Spring foot doctors, are committed to remaining on the cutting edge of technological advancements. To showcase this, the doctors are pleased to announce that Family Foot & Ankle Associates of Maryland is now offering a noninvasive way to treat their patient's heel pain in Silver Spring. Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy, or ESWT is a fast, non-surgical way of reducing heel pain.

"We are glad that we can provide this sort of technology to our patients. We are always looking for new and effective ways for treating common foot injuries. The RSWT is for people who have tried other methods for treating heel pain with no results. We hope this method can finally give them relief," said Dr. Goldberg, foot doctor in Silver Spring.

Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy is mostly for patients who suffer from chronic heel pain or plantar fasciitis. Plantar fasciitis occurs when the plantar fascia ligament that is located in the heel is overused from standing for long hours or from repetitive exercise. ESWT generates pressure waves that travel through the skin and come in contact with the inflamed tissue. The waves then stimulate the body's natural self-healing process. ESWT is also capable of over-stimulating the nerves, reducing sensitivity and pain in the foot. This treatment is safe as well as effective and has been evaluated by the FDA.

Additionally, Drs. Goldberg, Farnworth, and Frank invite their patients to take advantage of the online appointment requesting feature that is available through his interactive website. The online appointment-requesting feature, offers a convenient way for busy patients to request an appointment for orthotics in Silver Spring with Family Foot and Ankle Associates without interrupting their day.
