Massage therapy, night splints and possible cast immobilization. If biomechanical abnormalities are present such as overpronation, leg length differences or other pathology is present, orthotics may be required. Also, an MRI may be recommended to further evaluate the extent of damage and

Lesions
No, Swift is not covered by your insurance based on the nature of treatment. Insurance covers “destruction of lesions.” However, Swift is a non-destructive immune therapy, so it falls outside of that billing code. Out-of-pocket, Swift will likely be comparable to traditional destructive therapy, although costs can vary. Ultimately, we often recommend Swift based on its high efficacy and lack of downtime; however, it’s one of several treatment options available.

Sports Medicine
Dr. Johncock hails from Michigan. While running cross county in college at Michigan State University, he developed chronic knee pain. Upon failure to receive relief from treatment by two knee specialists, he resorted to seeing a podiatrist who specialized in Sports Medicine. After being fitted with custom orthotics and being shown appropriate exercises, his knee pain completely resolved. Dr. Johncock was pre-med at the time, and after rotating with the Sports Medicine Podiatrist for a few weeks, he realized his career path was set. He completed his Bachelors at Michigan State, attended four years of podiatric medical school in Chicago, and later completed his podiatric surgical residency at Baptist Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee.

General Podiatry

Achilles Tendonitis
The easiest way to treat Achilles tendon injuries is to prevent them in the first place. These injuries can take several months to totally resolve and may result in the formation of scar issue and permanent limited mobility. With that in mind, it makes sense to take strides to prevent them. Keys to prevention include warming up sufficiently, maintaining appropriate flexibility, sensible running and wearing appropriate shoes.
Hammertoes
Metatarsalgia
Plantar Fasciitis
Your running biomechanics. Treatment is very similar to that of standard Achilles tendonitis so review that area again. I’ll frequently use different custom forms of padding and be sure my patients are not just performing the standard “calf” stretch but also the “soleus” stretch in which the back leg has the knee bent instead of straight to localize the area of pain more effectively. Once again, surgery should only be considered as a last option. A new option that may be available in the future is shock wave therapy or ESWT (extracoporeal shock wave therapy). This technology uses deep shock waves to break up scar tissue and allow new vessels to flow into the area to help the Achilles tendon insertion heal itself. This is still in the investigational stages with pending FDA approval for insertional Achilles tendonitis, but it does show promise. This is the same technology being used in chronic plantar fasciitis.
Podiatric Surgery
Dr. Johncock is Certified by the American Board of Podiatric Surgery, is the only Fellow of the American Academy of Sports Medicine in the state of North Carolina.
