What is Topaz Coblation?

Topaz Coblation is a minimally invasive procedure that uses radiofrequency waves to treat chronic plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendonitis. It provides an alternative to surgery for those with persistent pain that hasn’t responded to rest, ice, or stretching.

How It Works

• A podiatrist creates a grid of small holes in the affected area using a needle-like wand.
• Radiofrequency waves break up scar tissue and improve blood flow.
• The body heals these micro-injuries, gradually reducing pain.

Benefits

• Effective for chronic plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendonitis.
• Minimally invasive, leading to a faster recovery.
• Most patients can walk during recovery.

Recovery

• Some discomfort is common after the procedure.
• Stretching, icing, and physical therapy can help speed up recovery.

When to Consider Topaz Coblation

You may be a candidate if you experience:

• Ongoing pain despite conservative treatments.
• Swelling, redness, or difficulty walking.
• Persistent discomfort affecting daily activities.

If you have these symptoms, consult with a podiatrist who will be able to give you a proper diagnosis and aid you with your decision.
