Shockwave therapy is an advanced treatment we offer

The treatment helps with painful conditions in the foot and ankle, such as plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendonitis. It’s a non-invasive treatment that uses radial shockwaves, which are high-energy sound waves directed to the affected area. These shockwaves stimulate healing by increasing blood flow, encouraging tissue repair, and promoting the regeneration of damaged tendons and ligaments.

The therapy works by applying controlled pressure to the injured area, which can reduce pain and inflammation while accelerating the body’s natural healing process. It’s especially effective for conditions that have been persistent or chronic, where other treatments haven’t brought relief.

Shockwave therapy is particularly beneficial for treating foot and ankle injuries like plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, and other tendon-related problems. Whether you’re struggling with heel pain, stiffness, or inflammation in the Achilles tendon, shockwave therapy can provide significant relief and improve mobility.

Typically, shockwave therapy is administered over a course of 4 to 6 sessions

With each appointment lasting around 15-20 minutes. The treatment is generally well-tolerated, with most patients reporting only mild discomfort during the procedure. You may begin to feel improvements after just a few sessions, and with continued treatment, you’ll likely experience reduced pain and enhanced movement.

We have experienced great results with shockwave therapy, offering an effective solution for our patients who have struggled with foot or ankle pain for a long time. If you’ve been dealing with long-lasting discomfort and want to avoid surgery, shockwave therapy could be the ideal treatment to help you get back on your feet.
