Swift Therapy Benefits: Fast-Acting Pain Relief and Healing

At Arizona Foot and Ankle Physicians, we are dedicated to offering our patients the most advanced and effective treatments for foot and ankle conditions. That’s why we are proud to provide Swift Therapy, a state-of-the-art solution for stubborn skin lesions such as plantar warts.
 
Swift Therapy uses precise microwave energy to specifically target plantar warts—common growths on the feet caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). Unlike traditional treatments that may damage surrounding healthy tissue or require uncomfortable aftercare, Swift Therapy focuses only on the affected area. This stimulates your body’s natural immune response to fight the underlying virus, helping to resolve warts from the inside out.
 
Patients at Arizona Foot and Ankle Physicians benefit from Swift Therapy’s quick and convenient sessions, which usually take just a few seconds and cause minimal discomfort. Most people experience little to no pain during or after the procedure. There’s no need for bandages, dressings, or downtime, so you can return to your normal activities immediately after your visit.

We are committed to offering our patients the latest and most effective treatments for foot and ankle conditions, including stubborn plantar warts. One of the advanced solutions we provide is Swift Therapy—a state-of-the-art treatment specifically designed for skin lesions commonly found on the feet.
 
For many of our patients, especially those dealing with plantar warts, the full effects of Swift Therapy become apparent over several weeks as the immune system gradually clears away the affected tissue. The speed of recovery can vary depending on your individual immune response and the size or severity of the wart being treated.

Recently, there has been growing interest in Swift Therapy’s potential for managing certain types of chronic foot and ankle pain. Early research and anecdotal reports suggest it may help in cases involving nerve pain or musculoskeletal discomfort by modulating nerve conduction and reducing local inflammation. Theoretically, this could offer relief to some patients with chronic pain conditions affecting the feet or ankles.
 
However, it is important to note that the current evidence supporting Swift Therapy for chronic pain is limited. Most clinical studies and success stories focus on skin lesions like plantar warts, and only preliminary investigations have explored its use for chronic pain management. As such, Swift Therapy is not yet considered a proven or standard treatment for chronic foot or ankle pain.
 
Your health and safety are our top priorities. If you are interested in learning whether Swift Therapy may be appropriate for your foot or ankle condition, we encourage you to schedule a consultation with our experienced providers. We will review the latest evidence, discuss all available treatment options, and work with you to develop the most effective care plan for your needs.

Swift Therapy sessions are designed with your comfort and convenience in mind. Each treatment for plantar warts is typically very brief, with the actual application of Swift’s energy pulses lasting only a few seconds to a couple of minutes, depending on the size and number of lesions being treated.
 
During your visit, you’ll spend just a short period receiving the therapy, but we recommend allowing about 15 to 30 minutes for the entire appointment. This includes time for consultation, examination, and preparation to ensure you receive the highest standard of care.
 
Most patients require multiple sessions, usually spaced a few weeks apart, to achieve optimal results. Our podiatrist will develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
