Shockwave Therapy
Advanced radial shockwave therapy for chronic heel pain, plantar fasciitis, and other soft tissue conditions that have not responded to conventional treatment.
What is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy (Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy or ESWT) is a non-invasive treatment that uses acoustic pressure waves to stimulate healing in injured tissue. It is commonly used to treat chronic conditions such as plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, and other soft tissue injuries that have not improved with other treatments.
The treatment works by increasing blood flow and promoting tissue regeneration in the affected area, reducing pain and improving function over a series of sessions.
Conditions Treated
What to Expect
During Treatment
Each session typically lasts 15–30 minutes. A handheld device is applied to the affected area, delivering controlled shockwaves. Some discomfort may be felt during treatment, but it is generally well-tolerated.
Treatment Plan
A typical course involves 3–6 sessions spaced about one week apart. Many patients begin to notice improvement after the second or third session. Your chiropodist will recommend the appropriate plan based on your condition.
After Treatment
You may experience mild soreness after treatment, similar to post-exercise discomfort. Most patients can return to daily activities immediately. Your chiropodist will provide specific aftercare instructions.
