Ankle Pain
Our esteemed doctors in Horseheads, Waverly, and Elmira, NY, discuss ankle pain, so patients can better understand the issues at hand. You should know that non-invasive medical treatment for any condition in the body far outweighs the more invasive treatments like surgery if non-invasive treatment can help your situation. Non-invasive treatments have little to no complications or side effects. Pain is not normal. Pain is the result of an underlying condition. Ankle pain can be associated with,
- Bursitis
- Fractures
- Sprains
- Tendonitis
- Arthritis
- Flatfeet
- Gout
- Infection
Pain is not a regular occurrence and can significantly decrease your quality of life at work, home, and play—standard treatment options for ankle pain include,
- Over-the-counter pain medication
- Rest
- Elevation
- Compression
- Supports
- EPAT
- Surgery
We have a new FDA non-invasive foot/ankle pain treatment called EPAT or Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology. This highly effective Shockwave Therapy significantly decreases or eliminates ankle pain. If you have difficulty walking and bearing weight due to ankle pain, EPAT may be your treatment choice in our office versus ankle surgery. This procedure requires no anesthesia, creates no complications, and there is no recovery time. This FDA-approved treatment for eliminating ankle pain through EPAT shows a high success rate. Patients can bear weight after an EPAT treatment and resume normal activities in a few days.
When you opt for a holistic type of treatment like EPAT, sometimes you may experience minor discomfort for a few days, and then the pain is eliminated. This little residual pain tells you your body is recovering and healing.
