Shockwave Treatment for Persistent Achilles Pain After Surgical Repair
Megan is a 36-year-old female who ruptured her Achilles tendon playing pickleball 4 months ago. She underwent surgical repair within a week. One month into her recovery, she developed an open wound over the incision secondary to suture rejection. Ultimately, she developed notable scar tissue in the region and loss of motion with increased pain. Despite physical therapy, she has had persistent loss of motion and pain with weight-bearing activities and continued to walk with a limp.
Her surgeon referred the patient to consider shockwave treatment. Shockwave is a noninvasive treatment that stimulates blood flow, stem cell function and regenerative capability.
Today, after four weekly sessions of shockwave treatment, her pain symptoms have improved 70%. Her range of motion is almost completely normal and she is now walking without limp.
Come see what regenerative orthopedics can do for you!
