Understanding Foot Osteoarthritis

Foot osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease that affects the cartilage in the joints of the foot. As the cartilage wears away, bones rub against each other, causing pain, inflammation, and decreased mobility. The condition commonly affects the big toe, midfoot, and ankle.

Causes and Symptoms of Foot Osteoarthritis

Several factors can contribute to the development of foot osteoarthritis, including:

• Age: The wear and tear on joints over time make osteoarthritis more common in older adults.
• Previous Injuries: Past injuries, such as fractures or sprains, can increase the risk of developing osteoarthritis.
• Repetitive Stress: Activities or occupations that place repeated stress on the feet.
• Genetics: A family history of osteoarthritis can predispose individuals to the condition.

Common symptoms of foot osteoarthritis include:

• Pain and Tenderness: In the affected joints, especially during movement.
• Stiffness and Swelling: Around the joints.
• Reduced Range of Motion: Difficulty moving the foot or ankle.
• Bone Spurs: Extra bone growth that can cause further pain and stiffness.

Who is Prone to Foot Osteoarthritis?

Foot osteoarthritis often affects:

• Older Adults: Due to the natural aging process and wear and tear on joints.
• Individuals with a History of Foot Injuries: Previous trauma to the foot increases the risk.
• People with Occupations Involving Repetitive Foot Stress: Such as athletes, dancers, and manual laborers.
• Those with a Family History of Osteoarthritis: Genetic predisposition plays a role.

The Science Behind SoftWave Therapy for Foot Osteoarthritis

SoftWave Therapy uses electrohydraulic supersonic acoustic waves to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. Here’s how it helps treat foot osteoarthritis:

1. Reduces Pain and Inflammation: Provides immediate relief by decreasing pain and swelling in the affected joints.
2. Enhances Blood Flow and Circulation via Angiogenesis: Promotes the formation of new blood vessels, improving blood flow and oxygen delivery to the damaged cartilage.
3. Stimulates Healing Molecules: Activates eNOS (endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase) and VEGF (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor) to support tissue repair.
4. Encourages Neovascularization: Ensures better nutrient delivery and waste removal through the development of new blood vessels.
5. Activates Stem Cells for Tissue Regeneration: Stimulates, activates, and mobilizes stem cells, aiding in the natural repair and regeneration of the joint cartilage.
6. Non-Surgical, Non-Injection, Drug-Free Alternative: Offers a safe and effective treatment option without the risks associated with surgery, injections, or medications.
