Why should I consider E.S.W.T. instead of an invasive surgery?

Any surgery can by risky and complications may arise. After a lengthy surgical procedure
you may have scarred tissue and there is no guarantee that the pain will not return. As
with all invasive surgeries, you are required to stay overnight for observation. This is not
only costly, but an inconvenience. Your recovery time is longer and you are restricted
from daily activity for at least one month.

The Orbasone provides a non-invasive alternative to surgery. In a multi-site, controlled
clinical trial, 69% of the Orbasone-treated subjects had at least a 40% reduction in heel
pain at 12 weeks post-treatment, compared to 37% of the sham subjects. This is an
outpatient procedure and no hospital stay is required. Your recovery time is much shorter
(a few days) allowing you to return to your daily activities.
