Radial-Pulse-Therapy.jpg

Advanced Foot Care Center now offers Radial Pulse Therapy to treat foot, heel and ankle pain without injections.

These five-minute treatments deliver mechanical energy to the target area of the foot and ankle. The energy will treat area soft tissue pain, increase circulation and improve tissue tone.

Will I experience pain during treatment?

Radial Pulse Therapy creates a mechanical stress that may cause mild discomfort during treatment. Some soreness may be experienced post-treatment.

How soon can I expect pain relief after the treatment?

Most patients report some pain relief after the first treatment. However the effects are most prominent after the second or third treatment. Patients respond differently, based on their condition.

How many treatments are required, on average?

The normal number of treatments for most conditions is 3 to 5. Allow 4 to 7 days between treatments.

Ask Dr. Brodine and Dr. McCalla for more information during your appointment.

Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) can lead to pain in the extremities, difficulty when walking, slower healing and even loss of limb. Advanced Foot Care Center uses Smart-ABI to test and clinically diagnose patients who may be at risk for Peripheral Arterial Disease. The American Heart Association recommends testing all patients at risk for PAD, and the American Diabetes Association recommends annual foot examinations that include PAD testing.

The Smart-ABI equipment performs a one-minute test that measures a patient’s Ankle Brachial Index (ABI) – the blood pressure in the ankle area, blood pressure, body mass index and more. When the test is complete, a report is generated that provides graphic scores indicating Normal, Borderline or Severe. The data provided by the test can help your doctor determine a course of treatment.

Ask Dr. Brodine and Dr. McCalla for more information during your appointment.
