Now there is a new heel pain treatment that can also eliminate the pain associated with neuromas. NeuroTherm therapy is a new technologically advanced modality that can eradicate your pain without surgery and without complications associated with surgery and affords you early return to normal daily activity.
Recalcitrant heel pain and neuromas that have not responded to conservative measures have traditionally been treated with surgical intervention. Now the pain associated with these common conditions can be eliminated through Radiofrequency (RF) ablation of the sensory nerves causing the pain. This treatment blocks the transmission of pain signals and renders patients asymptomatic in most cases.
Radiofrequency (RF) has been used to treat chronic back pain and trigeminal neuralgia for over forty years. This same principal can now be utilized to treat chronic heel pain and neuromas. With the development of a small portable radiofrequency generator, the NeuroTherm procedure can now be easily performed in the office under local anesthetic. With minimal discomfort and virtually no significant complications, patients are ambulatory the same day and return to normal activities. Patients have little or no discomfort following the procedure. Ablation of the nerve is achieved by the radiofrequency waves.
Radiofrequency (RF) ablation is an extremely effective method for treating heel pain and neuromas that have not responded to traditional conservative measures. It provides a unique minimally-invasive modality that usually prevents surgery in the treatment continuum of heel pain and neuromas. Radiofrequency provides doctors and patients with a simple effective alternative to surgical intervention and its possible complications.
