What is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy, also known as Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT), is a non-invasive, evidence-based treatment that uses acoustic waves to stimulate healing in damaged tissues.
This therapy is particularly effective for chronic conditions that have not responded to traditional treatments.
How It Works
​
• Stimulates blood flow to promote tissue repair
• Reduces inflammation to alleviate pain
• Breaks down calcifications in tendons and soft tissues
• Accelerates healing and regeneration for long-term relief
Benefits of Shockwave Therapy

Our Shockwave Therapy Process
1. Initial Consultation
Your treatment begins with a comprehensive assessment by our expert podiatrists, which includes:
• Medical history review to understand your condition and symptoms
• Physical examination to assess pain points and mobility
• Diagnosis to determine if shockwave therapy is the right treatment for you
2. Personalized Treatment Plan
If shockwave therapy is recommended, we create a tailored treatment plan outlining:
• Number of sessions required (typically 3 to 5 sessions)
• Expected outcomes and progress timeline
3. Shockwave Therapy Sessions
During each session:
• A handheld device delivers controlled shockwaves to the affected area.
• Treatment lasts 15–20 minutes and requires no downtime.
• Patients typically experience pain relief after a few sessions.
4. Post-Treatment Care
To maximize results, we provide guidance on:
• Stretching & strengthening exercises to support healing
• Footwear recommendations to improve biomechanics
• Lifestyle adjustments to prevent re-injury
