Take a Step in the Right Direction with The Miracle Wave® Technology for Orthopedic Pain

Did you know The Miracle Wave® technology can be used for joint pain, musculoskeletal disorders, aesthetics and even podiatry? It's true. This new type of therapy has become a useful remedy for continuous heel pain as well as other orthopedic conditions.

The Miracle Wave®  treatment is a non-invasive procedure that uses therapeutic acoustic waves to subdue the pain and inflammation in the tendon(s) on the bottom of the foot. 

Each of your feet has 26 bones, 33 joints, and more than 100 tendons, muscles and ligaments. That's why it's no surprise that so many things can go wrong with them! 

Here are a few common foot problems The Miracle Wave® can help alleviate: 

1. Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain. It involves pain and inflammation of a thick band of tissue, called the plantar fascia that runs across the bottom of your foot and connects your heel bone to your toes. This condition can commonly cause a sharp, stabbing pain that usually happens in your very first steps in the morning.

2. Heel Spurs
A heel spur is a calcium deposit on the underside of the heel bone and is similar to the pain you feel with plantar fasciitis. The discomfort usually decreases the more you walk. 

3. Diabetic Ulcers
If you have diabetes, you have an increased chance of developing foot sores called diabetic ulcers. Foot ulcers are the most common reason for hospital stays among people with diabetes. It may take weeks or even several months for foot ulcers to heal, but they are usually painless.

4. Achilles Tendinitis
Achilles tendinitis is one of the most common causes of foot or ankle pain. It occurs when the tendon that connects the back of your leg to your heel becomes swollen and painful near the bottom of the foot.

5. Flexor Hullucis Longus (Big Toe) Tendinitis 
When the muscle in your big toe is stretched or contracted excessively, tension is placed on the tendon and can cause chronic pain. This can happen to athletes or non-athletes and often occurs in ballerinas.
