Episode 10: Shockwave Therapy vs Surgery: A Plantar Fasciitis & Peroneal Tendonitis

Dr. Michele McGowan shares a case of a patient with plantar fasciitis and peroneal tendonitis who couldn’t take steroids or anti-inflammatories, leading to a discussion of conservative care and a continuum of options including SoftWave (shockwave) therapy, possible laser, and custom orthotics, with surgery as a last resort. After a brief orthopedic visit where surgery was recommended and regenerative options were dismissed as “cash pay,” McGowan reflects that she once viewed regenerative medicine as “snake oil” but changed her perspective after three years of study and positive outcomes. She emphasizes doctors must keep learning, present all options with risks and recovery, and notes the patient chose to proceed with her office’s regenerative package. She announces a free live webinar on April 8 at 8:00 PM with Dr. Henne covering shockwave types, protocols, pros/cons, and revenue.
