Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave Therapy is a safe, effective and non-surgical technology utilizing high-energy, short wavelength sound waves, called shockwaves, to treat tendons, bone and periosteum (the pain sensitive membrane on bone). Healing effects include bone and tendon regeneration, increased blood vessel growth and a chemically induced decrease in pain and sensitivity of the pain receptors. Research proves this modality is extremely effective for most near to bone tendonitis and more so than most of the alternatives. i.e. 90% improvement for Plantar Fasciitis (Journal of Orthopedic Research 2005) 91% improvement for Calcific Tendinitis (Journal of American Medical Association 2003) Conditions that can be treated by Shockwave Therapy: - Plantar ...

Both of these contribute to the overall functioning of the cell, and the whole body. The ability to have an effect ...
Diabetic Ulcers
The diabetic foot involves two associated but independent challenges. The most common problem is development of skin ulcers from excessive pressure or injury, the second is the inability of the diseased joint and ligament tissue to protect the foot from collapse caused by stresses of weight bearing or injury. Microvascular changes in the blood supply to the skin and soft tissue beneath calluses make the foot especially vulnerable to pressure. The protective fat is lost, and the skin growth fails so the tissue breaks down and ulcers develop. The mechanical forces of weight bearing then can lead to even further ...
