Before and after Orthotripsy for Achilles Tendonitis 👣
This patient came to us with chronic Achilles tendon pain and inflammation. Before treatment, the Achilles tendon measured 10.7 mm, indicating significant thickening and irritation. After Orthotripsy, also known as Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy, the tendon thickness reduced to 7.8 mm, reflecting improved tissue health and decreased inflammation.
Orthotripsy is a non-invasive, FDA-approved shock wave therapy that helps break up hardened tissue, restore flexibility, and increase blood flow to promote natural healing. There are no incisions, no surgery, and minimal downtime. Patients walk the same day and return to normal activities quickly.
At Mid-Ohio Foot and Ankle Specialists, our experienced physicians believe surgery should be the last resort. With decades of experience and thousands of procedures performed, we focus on proven treatments that help patients get back on their feet safely and effectively.
If Achilles pain is limiting your movement, a thorough evaluation is all it takes to see if Orthotripsy is right for you. Tap the link in our bio for more information!
