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.

Fluoroscopy is a type of medical imaging that shows a continuous X-ray image on a monitor, much like an X-ray movie. The image is transmitted to a monitor so the movement of the foot and ankle can be seen in detail. Fluoroscopy is used in a wide variety of examinations and procedures to diagnose or treat patients.

Fluoroscopy provides “moving pictures” of foot and ankle joints, allowing the podiatrist to see a complete picture of the issues that may be causing pain.

Advanced Foot Care Center has on-site fluoroscan equipment, so patients do not have to make appointments at outside medical facilities to utilize this diagnostic tool.

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