BV Foot Clinic: Tennis Elbow, Anyone?



                                                      Tennis Elbow, Anyone? 

As the weather warms, some people will resume their favorite outdoor sports, while others try their hands at new activities; but if they're strenuous, they can try a lot more than just hands. For example, the repeated twisting forearm motions required to play tennis can inflame the elbows' ligaments, and lead to tissue deterioration, causing lateral epicondylitis (a.k.a. tennis elbow); but we have a quick fix. With Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT), we apply tiny shock waves to the affected areas, to induce the healing process. So, call us at the first sign of discomfort, as it’d be a shame to let a little pain interfere with your game.

BV Foot Clinic: Treating Plantar Fasciitis is Quite a Feat



                                                            Treating Plantar Fasciitis is Quite a Feat  
     
As outdoor activity increases, so will the cases of plantar fasciitis (also called “heel spurs”). Caused by the straining of the plantar fascia (a ligament-like band that runs from the heel, to the ball of the foot), which can result from vigorous physical activity, weight gain, or excessive standing or walking, it can be extremely painful, and even debilitating. Yet, people often delay treatment, fearing that it will be painful and complicated.

If you’re in this situation, you’re in for a shock. We can fix it quickly and easily, with our Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT), a safe, painless, in-office treatment that requires no down time! You gotta admit, that’s quite a feat!
