In this episode of the Truly Healthy MD Podcast, host Dr. Monica Jauregui sits down with Dr. Alan Shih to explore two cutting-edge, non-invasive treatment modalities: shockwave and laser therapy.
Dr. Shih explains how shockwave therapy, originally developed to break up kidney stones, has been adapted for musculoskeletal conditions such as plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendonitis—and even shows promise in heart health research. Dr. Jauregui shares her fascination with how a technology once used in urology is now helping patients with foot pain and neuropathy.
The conversation then shifts from sound to light energy as Dr. Shih discusses laser therapy. From treating toenail fungus without liver-damaging oral medications to stimulating nerve repair and boosting cellular energy, laser therapy is giving patients new options for neuropathy, numbness, and tingling.
Dr. Shih also introduces his practice, Head to Toe, where he and his wife, an optometrist specializing in dry eye, combine specialties to provide unique, integrated care for patients whose conditions may affect both their eyes and feet.
