Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) is a noninvasive surgical procedure that uses sound waves to stimulate healing in some physical disorders, including plantar fasciitis. What is the origin of ESWT? The basic science behind ESWT, the technology that uses acoustic shockwaves.
The technique of using shockwaves to break up kidney stones has been around for a nearly a quarter century now, and in the process of treating thousands and thousands of patients, it was found that many people undergoing the procedure had other unrelated aches and pains disappear.It was at this point that scientists began to consider that shockwaves may have an effect to heal other sorts of tissues.

Laser Nail Treatment uses a specially designed, medical device that shines a laser/light beam through your toenail and targets the pathogens embedded in your nail bed and nail plate that cause toenail fungus. The laser light beam does not harm the nail or surrounding skin. Most people feel a slight warming sensation during the procedure.
The most effective orthotics are custom-made devices that are crafted to meet the specific needs of each patient. True custom orthotics are created using an impression of each foot called a cast, which places the foot in the neutral position. A pair of true custom orthotics can only be prescribed following a comprehensive assessment by a highly trained foot specialist who is able to properly diagnose your foot condition.

I have been to the emergency department they gave me antibiotics and sent me on my way. Then a rheumatologist who suggested having my Dr refer me to a surgeon. I needed help sooner than later and my orthopedic shoe specialist "Sound Orthotics" who recommended Dr Lanthier in Sudbury. I called and was given an appointment as they just had a cancellation. I met with Dr Lanthier who suggested removing the ingrown toe nail and was able to do it right then. What a relief and a great bedside manner. Highly recommended.
