The Orbasone is a safe, efficient, patient friendly and non-invasive way to address chronic heel pain, also known as plantar fasciitis. The precision-engineered system produces high-energy shockwaves, which are guided to the treatment area by a semi-ellipsoidal reflector. The energy head of the Orbasone is fully articulated and easy to adjust. Simply plug the Orbasone into a standard wall outlet and it is ready to go.
In a multi-site, controlled clinical trial, 69% of the Orbasone-treated subjects had at least a 40% reduction in heel pain at 12 weeks post-treatment, compared to 37% of the sham subjects. Some people experienced immediate pain relief, but it may take up to 6 weeks for pain relief to begin, and relief may continue for up to 12 weeks after an Orbasone treatment session. The most frequent side effects reported during the study were bruising, swelling, and pain. Treatments last approximately 30-40 minutes. Because this is a non-surgical procedure, no overnight stay is required and recovery time is reduced.
