Regenerative Program
Vertex Regenerative Dual Treatment Package
A Coordinated 6-Session Radial Shockwave + REMY Class IV Laser Protocol
Some chronic foot and ankle conditions do not settle with rest alone. The Vertex Regenerative Dual Treatment Package pairs two non-surgical technologies, Radial Shockwave Therapy and REMY Class IV Laser, in one coordinated protocol: 6 radial shockwave sessions plus 6 REMY Class IV laser sessions, with clinical progress monitoring throughout. Shockwave delivers mechanical stimulation to affected tissue, and laser therapy is used to support pain and inflammation management. Whether this program is appropriate depends on your clinical evaluation.
- 6 Radial Shockwave Therapy sessions
- 6 REMY Class IV Laser sessions
- Coordinated treatment protocol
- Clinical progress monitoring
Clinical Protocol
The 3-Phase Protocol
Six radial shockwave sessions plus six REMY Class IV laser sessions, typically scheduled weekly, with your progress monitored and the plan adjusted as needed.
Ignition Phase
Sessions 1 and 2 begin the protocol. Each visit pairs a radial shockwave session with a REMY Class IV laser session, and Dr. Golan records your baseline symptoms and function so later progress can be compared.
Repair Phase
Sessions 3 and 4 continue the paired shockwave and laser treatments. This is a mid-protocol checkpoint where your response is reviewed and settings or activity guidance may be adjusted.
Performance Phase
The final sessions continue the coordinated protocol while Dr. Golan reviews your progress and discusses a gradual return to activity based on how you are responding.
Response varies by diagnosis and individual factors, and results are not guaranteed. Your progress is monitored at each visit so the plan can be adjusted.
Need Orthotics Too? Consider Regenerative Elite
Some conditions have a biomechanical component, such as abnormal load distribution or overpronation. The Vertex Regenerative Elite program ($1,200) includes everything in this Dual package plus a biomechanical evaluation, 3D digital foot scanning, and custom-fabricated prescription orthotics with fitting and dispensing. Orthotics are included when clinically indicated, as determined at your evaluation.

Who Is This Package For?
The Vertex Regenerative Dual Treatment Package may be considered for patients who haven't achieved lasting relief from cortisone injections, physical therapy, or conservative care alone - and for active patients looking for a non-surgical option. Suitability is confirmed at your evaluation.
Chronic plantar fasciitis & heel pain
Insertional & mid-body Achilles tendinopathy
Peroneal & posterior tibial tendinopathy
Heel spur syndrome
Metatarsalgia & forefoot pain
Ankle ligament injuries (sub-acute phase)
Sports-related soft tissue injuries
Morton's neuroma (adjunct protocol)
Why the Dual Protocol Works
Radial shockwave delivers mechanical stimulation to the treated area and is used for selected chronic soft tissue conditions of the foot and ankle.
REMY Class IV laser therapy is used to support management of pain and inflammation.
Pairing the two in one coordinated schedule lets Dr. Golan monitor your response to both and adjust the plan as needed. Individual responses vary.
Non-surgical and medication-free, with little to no downtime for most patients, so modified activity can often continue during the protocol.
Frequently Asked Questions
What conditions does the Vertex Regenerative Dual Treatment Package treat?
The package combines Radial Shockwave Therapy and REMY Class IV Laser to treat chronic foot and ankle pain including plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, heel pain, and musculoskeletal injuries that have not fully responded to rest, orthotics, or physical therapy.
Is shockwave therapy covered by insurance in Columbus, Ohio?
Coverage varies by insurer and diagnosis. Some commercial plans cover shockwave when medically necessary and properly documented; others classify it as experimental. Our team verifies your specific benefits before your first session. CareCredit financing is available for plans that do not cover it.
How quickly will I feel pain relief after the dual treatment protocol?
Some patients notice changes in pain and function during the protocol, while others respond more gradually or not at all. Response depends on the diagnosis, how long symptoms have been present, and other individual factors, so no specific timeline or outcome can be guaranteed.
Can I combine the Vertex Regenerative Dual Package with custom orthotics?
Yes. When orthotics are clinically indicated, the Vertex Regenerative Elite program ($1,200) includes everything in the Dual package plus 3D digital foot scanning, custom-fabricated prescription orthotics, fitting and dispensing, and a biomechanical evaluation. Orthotics address biomechanical factors that may contribute to some conditions.
CareCredit Financing Available
The Vertex Regenerative Dual Treatment Package is a specialized, out-of-pocket procedure and is not typically covered by health insurance. We accept CareCredit to help patients spread the cost across manageable monthly payments.
