How I Use Shockwave & Systems to Grow My Podiatry Practice
from Don Pelto, DPM - Podiatry Practice Mastery · host Don Pelto, DPM
In this episode of Podiatry Practice Mastery, I share strategies and real patient cases that helped me scale my podiatry practice toward and beyond the $1,000,000 mark. From managing complex conditions like posterior tibial tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, and fractures to optimizing treatment workflows and leveraging advanced therapies like shockwave and Swift, this episode highlights the tools, techniques, and systems that drive better patient outcomes and improved practice efficiency.What You’ll Learn in This EpisodeHow I identify and manage my most valuable patients (MVPs)Using shockwave therapy and amnio injections for faster recoveryEffective workflows for managing fractures, warts, ulcers, and tendonitisLeveraging orthotics, AFOs, and treatment kits for optimal outcomesWhy You Should ListenIf you want to scale your podiatry care practice, improve patient outcomes, and streamline workflows, this episode offers actionable insights from real-world clinical scenarios. You'll learn how to integrate advanced therapies, optimize scheduling, and build systems that keep your practice growing efficiently.Key Topics Covered[0:17] Turning podcast insights into written resources for new practitioners[1:12] Managing posterior tibial tendonitis with shockwave, amnio, and orthotics[2:26] Diagnosing a stress fracture using ultrasound and managing runners[3:21] How shockwave therapy speeds up return-to-play timelines[3:41] Treating calcaneal fractures and leveraging global billing periods[4:00] Managing bunions, hammer toes, and arthritis with EPAT and shoe options[4:36] Achilles care success using the “Pelto Special” home protocol[5:16] In-office nerve removals for lateral fifth metatarsal pain[6:20] Debriding fissures and ulcers for faster healing[7:15] Scar complications after melanoma removal and referrals to plastics[8:25] Double-booking follow-ups to optimize clinic efficiency[9:01] Successful shockwave recovery for plantar fasciitis patients[10:08] Navigating EMR challenges and streamlining documentation👉 Tune in to learn how I manage high-value patient cases, streamline treatments, and integrate advanced therapies to grow a successful podiatry care practice.
