Shock wave therapy offered as nonoperative heel relief
In Bonita Springs, podiatrist Dr. Mickey Gordon used extracorporeal shock-wave therapy to ease Susan Baker's heel pain. The 15 minute procedure, performed with an OSSItron device, avoids cutting and hospital stays and aims to boost healing by improving blood flow, though Medicare does not cover it. Baker plans a brief recovery and return to activities within weeks.
