Shockwave Therapy
At Neat Feet Podiatry Care, we’re committed to offering effective and cutting-edge treatments to help you stay active and pain-free. One of our advanced treatment options is Shockwave Therapy, a non-invasive and highly effective method for managing chronic foot and lower limb pain.
What is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave Therapy, also known as Radial Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (rESWT), is a modern, non-invasive treatment that uses sound waves to stimulate healing in soft tissue injuries and chronic pain conditions. By promoting blood flow, reducing inflammation, and triggering the body’s natural repair mechanisms, Shockwave Therapy helps to accelerate healing and relieve pain.
Conditions Treated with Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave Therapy is an ideal treatment for a variety of foot and lower limb conditions, including:
Plantar Fasciitis: Chronic heel pain caused by inflammation of the plantar fascia.
Achilles Tendinopathy: Pain and stiffness in the Achilles tendon.
Heel Spurs: Calcium deposits that cause pain in the heel.
Shin Splints: Pain along the shinbone from overuse or stress.
Morton’s Neuroma: Nerve pain in the ball of the foot.
Patellar Tendinopathy: Pain in the tendon connecting the kneecap to the shinbone.
Other Soft Tissue Injuries such as muscle strains and ligament sprains
How Does Shockwave Therapy Work?
Shockwave Therapy works by delivering high-energy sound waves to the affected area. These sound waves create microtrauma in the tissue, stimulating the body’s natural healing response. The treatment promotes:
Increased blood flow to the injured area.
Reduction in inflammation.
Stimulation of collagen production for tissue repair.
Disruption of pain signals for immediate relief.
What are the Benefits of Shockwave Therapy?
Non-Invasive: No needles, surgery, or downtime required.
Pain Relief: Many patients experience significant pain reduction after just a few sessions.
Fast and Effective: Treatments typically take only 15–20 minutes, and most patients see results within a few sessions.
No Medications Needed: Shockwave Therapy works with your body’s natural healing processes.
Safe for Chronic Conditions: Proven effective for long-term injuries and pain.
What to Expect During Treatment
Assessment: A thorough evaluation is conducted by the podiatrist to determine whether Shockwave Therapy is an appropriate treatment option.
Application: A gel is applied to the skin over the affected area, and the Shockwave device delivers sound waves directly to the tissue.
Quick and Comfortable: The treatment is quick, and while some patients may experience mild discomfort during the session, it is generally well-tolerated.
Most treatment plans involve 3–6 sessions spaced a week apart, depending on your condition and progress.
Is Shockwave Therapy Right for You?
Shockwave Therapy is a safe and effective treatment option for most patients dealing with chronic foot and lower limb pain. However, it may not be suitable for individuals who are pregnant, have certain medical conditions, or are taking specific medications. Your podiatrist will discuss these considerations with you during your consultation.
