ASMC is proud to provide services for this exciting technology. Using high energy shock waves first designed to break up and treat kidney stones, the orthopedic indications of orthotripsy include treatment of chronic plantar fasciitis (heel spurs) and lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow). This non-invasive procedure allows for fewer complications than traditional surgery with a much quicker healing time and return to daily life and sport. Dr. Peterson is certified and experienced with orthotripsy, using Ossatron technology.

What is Orthotripsy (OssaTron®)

High-performance Extracorporeal Shock Wave Technology (ESWT) device. The OssaTron® is the first shock wave unit developed especially for orthopaedic applications. The OssaTron® unites electrohydraulic shock waves possessing a maximum penetration depth with a dynamic energy range and a large focal volume to create the “Gold Standard” in Extracorporeal Shock Wave Technology.

The OssaTron® covers a range of orthopaedic indications suitable for Shock Wave Technology. The OssaTron® is the first and only Extracorporeal Shock Wave Technology (ESWT) system approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of multiple orthopaedic conditions which have failed to respond to conservative treatment. The OssaTron® is currently FDA approved to treat chronic plantar fasciitis (heel pain) and chronic lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow) when these conditions have failed to respond to conservative treatments.
