example 1

[0061] This example 1 includes an active referral from the applicant's patient.

[0062] "My Morton's neuroma symptoms started a few years ago with a crooked toe and a tingling, burning sensation on the bottom of my right foot. Dr. Bocian initially treated me with cortisone injections, which every It worked well for about a year. Then the symptoms got worse and I felt like I was walking on marbles. After a few months I was limping badly, causing pain in my left knee and left leg. I started actually counting at How many steps can I avoid in my daily activities."

[0063] In October, I saw Dr. Bocian and asked what we could do other than surgery so I could return to my quality of life and normal movement. He told me about his laser treatment and I immediately started 10 sessions. On the second day after treatment, I felt 95% better.

[0064] I feel honored to be in the care of Dr. Bocian and to provide his new application of laser technology for Morton's Neuroma. "

example 2

[0066] History: A 58-year-old woman with a bilateral foot Morton's neuroma condition followed up after laser treatment.

[0067] Comparison: Ultrasound of left and right foot from 02107 / 2014. Technique: Focused grayscale and power Doppler ultrasonography of both feet was performed with attention to the forefoot for follow-up of bilateral Morton's neuroma.

[0068] Right foot: A circular hypoechoic lesion was again shown at the plantar appearance of the second intermetatarsal space between the second and third metatarsal heads, which had been reduced in size and now measured as The 0.2 cm × 0.2 cm × 0.2 cm (AP × TR × CC) was consistent with the Doton neuroma. Again proved to be a small fluid-filled lesion at the plantar aspect of the 3rd metatarsophalangeal joint measuring 5 mm in length, which is not close to Morton's neuroma and may represent a small adventitial sac or Ganglion cyst. There were no additional soft tissue abnormalities in the remaining intermetatarsal space....

example 3

[0072] Thirty (30) patients underwent a study evaluating the effects of Nd:YAG laser in the non-surgical treatment of Morton's neuroma. Baseline diagnostic MRI and / or ultrasonography were used to confirm the presence of neuroma. A series of laser treatments were performed weekly using Applicant's method. After treatment was completed, subjects returned for follow-up MRI and / or ultrasound studies.

[0073] The result is an extremely high patient satisfaction rate. Subsequent comparative studies showed a reduction in the size of the neuromas.

[0074] Of the 42 patients evaluated for Morton's neuroma by US, 21 received a total of 32 treatments for Morton's neuroma. Retrospective US examination of pre-treatment lesions revealed heterogeneous, well-circumscribed, hypoechoic masses in 97% (31 / 32) with pain associated with transducer pressure. An associated bursa was identified in a small number of cases (3 / 28). Following treatment, the lesions remained heterogeneously hypoecho...

Abstract

Systems and methods for treating fibrous masses associated with conditions such as Morton neuroma, stump neuroma, plantar fibroma, plantar fibromatosis, plantar fascitis, plantar fasciae disease, and Achilles tendinopathy. In accordance with embodiments herein, an exemplary method may include transmitting electromagnetic energy to such a fiber mass in a non-surgical manner by various methods.

Description

[0001] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0002] This application claims priority to US Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 824,140, ​​filed March 26, 2019, and US Patent Application No. 16 / 365,409, filed March 26, 2019, both of which were granted Reference is incorporated herein in its entirety. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to a non-surgical treatment of fibrous masses, such as Morton's neuroma, stump neuroma, plantar fibromatosis, plantar fibromatosis, plantar fasciitis, plantar fasciopathy and Achilles tendinopathy. Background technique [0004] The various fibrous masses associated with the fascia and / or tendons of the human foot have proven to be a mystery in an attempt to effectively treat or cure such conditions in an effective or practical manner. As an example, perineural fibrosis with axonal degeneration and vascular proliferation of the total digital nerves of the second or third metatarsal space is commonly referred to as Mort...
