Conditions We Treat with Swift® Wart Therapy

Effective, Non-Invasive Treatment for Stubborn Warts

At Align Foot & Ankle, we understand how persistent and painful warts can be. Traditional treatments often require multiple, uncomfortable sessions and have a high rate of recurrence. That’s why we’re proud to offer Swift® Wart Therapy, an advanced, non-surgical solution that delivers a highly concentrated dose of microwave energy to the affected area. This innovative treatment works by stimulating your body’s own immune system to target and eliminate the wart virus from the inside out, offering a more permanent solution with less pain and a shorter recovery time than traditional methods like cryotherapy or chemical treatments.

Swift® is a game-changer for people who have tried other wart remedies without success. It’s a quick in-office procedure that requires no anesthetic, no bandages, and allows you to return to your daily activities immediately. Whether you’re dealing with a single painful plantar wart or multiple warts on your foot, Swift® provides a safe and effective way to get back on your feet, pain-free.

Swift® Wart Therapy: Precise, Non-Invasive Relief

At Align Foot & Ankle in St. Petersburg, we offer Swift® Wart Therapy—a modern approach to stubborn plantar warts that resists freezing, acids, or home remedies. Instead of destroying skin tissue, Swift® uses a low-dose microwave signal to target the root cause of the wart: the human papillomavirus (HPV). By activating the body’s natural immune response, Swift® provides lasting wart clearance without cutting, burning, or scarring. Treatment sessions are quick, clean, and performed entirely in-office. Most patients are able to walk immediately after and return to work, school, or sports without interruption. With no dressings, no downtime, and no messy aftercare, Swift® is becoming the preferred choice for both adults and children struggling with chronic or painful plantar warts.
