Radial Pulse Therapy uses energy pulses, or shockwaves, to activate your body’s natural healing mechanism.
The FDA-cleared Zimmer enPulsPro RPT System is used by the Podiatry Doctors to deliver energy pulses straight to the soft tissue causing your pain. This procedure helps to activate the healing process by breaking up scar tissue and stimulating blood flow to your injury.
Inflammation and pain decrease as damaged tissue breaks down and healthy new cells replace it. It’s similar to a deep tissue massage, but it’s much more specialized.
Radial Pulse Thearapy is effective for the following foot pain conditions:
- Ligament sprains
- Muscle or tendon strains
- Tendinitis
- Plantar fasciitis
- Joint, ankle, and heel pain
Radial Pulse Therapy (RPT) can also help with overuse or repetitive stress injuries, as well as sports injuries, allowing you to get back on your feet more quickly.
When it comes to RPT therapy, there are a few things to keep in mind.
RPT therapies have many advantages. It’s not only absolutely painless, but it’s also speedy and drug-free.
Radial Pulse Therapy (RPT) sessions are performed by the Podiatry Doctors during a routine office visit, and therapy takes about 10-15 minutes. The Zimmer RPT device, unlike other shockwave therapy systems, uses variable quantities of energy and penetration depths spread out across a broader region, making it significantly more comfortable.
We tailor the Zimmer RPT system settings to your unique treatment location and damage during your therapy. Then we sweep the site with the portable applicator. You may experience minor discomfort depending on the portion of your foot or ankle that is being treated and your current symptoms. RPT therapy, on the other hand, is often compared to deep tissue massage and is well tolerated.
You can immediately resume normal activity after your RPT therapy. In fact, exercising can aid in the process of tissue remodeling. Based on your foot or ankle discomfort, Dr. Kaplan can make tailored recommendations for which activities are appropriate for your treatment.
In the majority of patients, a single RPT session relieves discomfort. However, after two or three, the results become more noticeable. As a result, for optimal pain relief, The Podiatry Doctors frequently recommend a series of three to five treatments every four to seven days.
