Very Important Information For Heel Pain Sufferers.

We at FFLC recognize that sometime ESWT can be cost prohibitive. For this reason, we have acquired 6 Medispec Radialspec machines. These are class 1 devices that deliver radial shockwaves. We have been successfully treating many foot and ankle problems with these at all of our locations. While we can't give prices for ESWT services on this website, we can say that very few patients have had any difficulty with the cost of this treatment. And so far, the treatments have shown very high success rates.

The simple fact is that no other doctor in the country has invested more of his time and money into researching and exploring ESWT as a non-surgical treatment of orthopedic conditions of the lower extremity than Dr. Horwitz. This ongoing research with multiple ESWT machines will no doubt be beneficial to our patients as we move into the next decade. See the LifeWave Technology Group Website for more infomation.

There is a 38-foot custom RV traveling around St. Louis and surrounding areas. Outfitted with cutting edge technology, and manned by a doctor plus a highly trained staff, this podiatry center provides free screenings for health fairs, corporations, community centers, events and more. It has regular visits to Mt. Vernon, IL, Cape Girardeau, MO, and Fenton, MO. Soon the schedule will includeWashington, MO, Troy, MO and other cities.

If you have foot pain, that’s good news because this state-of-the-art diagnostic mobile center is dedicated to bringing quality foot care solutions to you.

In addition, some treatments such as Extracorporeal ShockWave Therapy (ESWT), for relief of heel pain, are available.

The Feet For Life and Mid County Surgery Centers have recently acquired a second extracorporeal shockwave machine. The acquisition of the new Medispec machine makes Feet For Life the only podiatry practice in the entire country to have around-the-clock access to multiple shockwave machines. Dr. Horwitz decision to purchase the second machine confirms his dedication to exploring extracorporeal shockwave's efficacy. The primary difference between the newly acquired Israeli made Medispec, and the German made Dornier Epos Ultra, is in the overall surface area treated.The new machine is showing great promise for the treatment of Achilles tendinitis, as well as myositis, shin splints, calcaneal stress fractures, and of course plantar fasciitis. Both machines are being used extensively in continuous efforts to research shockwave. See the latest updates on exactly what these machines can treat.

Feet for Life Podiatry Centers moving to Macs

We are very happy to announce that Feet for Life Podiatry Centers are becoming a "Mac" practice. What's this mean? Well, after reviewing many electronic medical records and billing software solutions, Dr. Horwitz decided that the Apple solution was the best of all. Could this have something to do with his long standing love for Mac computers and software? Maybe. But stability, networking and the all important support button were the real reasons for diving into Mac practice software.

"Only time will tell just how right this decision was for the Feet for Life Podiatry Centers", says Dr. Horwitz. "My intuition is that as an EMR and billing solution, this will work very well. And as for the future, well the future belongs to those that have vision...and Mac...lol, well, you get the picture."

Dr. Horwitz knows best. See recent newsletter being submitted for publication that will put you "in the know" on Albert Pujols and Plantar Fasciitis.

Comming soon: "In the know" on why so many news stories are exposing "nail spas" and just how dangerous and contaminated are these facilities.
