PRP and shockwave therapy (ESWT) help your body repair injured tendons and fascia without incisions or downtime. Our sports podiatrists build a plan that keeps you training.
Both treatments are performed in our Alexandria and Leesburg offices, take under an hour, and are often combined with custom orthotics and a guided progressive loading program.
High-energy acoustic pulses are delivered through the skin to the injured area, increasing blood flow, breaking down scarred fibrotic tissue, and triggering the body's natural healing response in chronic plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendinopathy.
A small sample of your blood is spun to concentrate active platelets and bioactive growth factors, then injected under precision ultrasound guidance into the damaged tendon or fascia to accelerate cellular repair where healing is slow.
A clear plan, not a wait-and-see. Most patients know their options by the end of the first appointment.
Gait review and in-office diagnostic ultrasound to pinpoint the injured tissue.
A non-surgical plan built around your sport, schedule and goals.
ESWT or PRP in the office, often paired with custom orthotics and a loading program.
Staged return with follow-up checks so the injury stays healed.
Fellowship-trained sports podiatrists dedicated specifically to foot and ankle pathologies.
Immediate visual confirmation of tear depth and healing progression without offsite MRI delays.
We focus on maintaining cross-training fitness rather than telling athletes to simply sit on the couch.
