Extracorporeal Shock Wave (ESW)
 What is ESW?   Who is ESW for? 
 Events and Results of ESW   Side Effects of ESW 

Central Florida podiatrist specializing in Ossatron foot surgery, a non-surgical foot treatment.  Eliminate foot pain without any hospital surgery.What side effects and complications could happen?
  • The ESW treatment may cause skin reddening or bruising of the treated foot. This usually clears within a few days.
  • The ESW treatment may cause numbness or tingling in the treated foot.
  • The ESW procedure may cause the plantar fascia to tear.
  • The ESW treatment may not help heel pain in your case. You may have episodes of pain similar to the pain you had before treatment. The pain may continue for a few days to several weeks after treatment.
  • Shock waves directed at large blood vessels or major nerves might cause damage to these structures. Misdirected ESW may result in nerve or blood vessel injury.
I have more questions about ESW treatment for heel pain. How can I get more information:

     Talk to Dr. Cowin. In order to use the OssaTron to treat chronic proximal plantar fasciitis, Dr. Cowin had to complete a specialized training program. The training program not only allowed Dr. Cowin to learn how to perform the ESW treatment, but it also included information about shock wave energy in general, and information from the OssaTron clinical study. Therefore, Dr. Cowin is the best person to talk with if you have any questions or concerns about ESW treatment for chronic proximal plantar fasciitis with the OssaTron.
