Then Vs. Now: How SWIFT Microwave Therapy Has Changed Plantar Wart Treatment
Traditional treatments for plantar warts are often intensive, time consuming, or flat out painful. That’s why many of our patients are happy to learn that we have an innovative, non-invasive option that actually works: SWIFT Microwave Therapy.
In this post, the team at Foot & Ankle Center of Ohio will discuss the benefits of SWIFT, highlighting how it has upgraded the standard for podiatric care. Read onto learn how you can get rid of plantar warts and prevent pesky recurrence with this innovative, non-invasive method.
Plantar Warts, Pain Points, and the Usual Approach
First, it’s important to understand what you’re up against.
Plantar warts are a common condition caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). Unsightly, persistent, and often painful, they can significantly impact quality of life. And in many cases, pre-SWIFT therapies have fallen short in addressing symptoms:
- Traditional treatments such as salicylic acid, surgical removal, or cryotherapy, can be time-consuming or painful.
- They’re also more damaging, as they dig deep beneath the surface of the skin and could potentially destroy tissue.
- They biggest problem? Traditional treatments aren’t always effective in getting to the root of the viral cause, meaning they don’t stop warts from coming back!
Given the challenges above, it’s obvious that a better method is needed, one that delivers faster, more enduring results. That’s where SWIFT comes in.
How SWIFT Microwave Therapy Works
SWIFT stands for Selected Waveform Interaction Field Technology. It’s FDA-cleared, and it delivers all kinds of benefits:
- By leveragingtargeted, low dose microwave energy, SWIFT destroys warts at their source.
- Stimulating the immune system and reducing the risk of recurrence, SWIFT is also non-invasive, requiring no anesthesia, incision, or medication to work effectively.
