Shockwave therapy
Shockwave therapy is an effective, evidence-based treatment our Podiatrists use in the management of Heel pain, Plantar fasciitis/fasciosis, Achilles tendinopathy and Forefoot pain. This non-invasive treatment works by increasing blood flow, stimulating healing and reducing pain.
How does it work?
Increases blood flow to the injured area which promotes healing
Inhibits Substance P (a pain mediator in our bodies) which creates an analgesic effect and reduces pain.
Provides an anti inflammatory effect by inhibiting the Cox II enzyme
How long is the treatment?
The treatment usually takes around 5 mins per site.
How many sessions will I need?
The average number of sessions is 3-4 over a 4-6 week period.
