Shockwave Therapy
By delivering shock waves to the affected tissue, it prompts the body's natural healing processes, stimulating cell repair and regeneration.
​
The approach is particularly beneficial as it is non-invasive, offering patients an alternative to more invasive procedures. It targets the root cause of the pain, aiding in long-term relief rather than just masking symptoms.
​
The therapy induces an inflammatory response to trigger healing. Shockwave therapy represents a valuable addition to the toolkit for managing conditions like Plantar Fasciitis, offering patients a potentially effective and minimally invasive option for alleviating pain and promoting healing.
Here are some answers to frequently asked questions about shockwave therapy:
​
-
Does it hurt? While you may experience some discomfort during the treatment, it's important to communicate with your Podiatrist so they can adjust the treatment intensity accordingly to minimise any discomfort.
-
What can I do after treatment? You can generally resume normal activities after the treatment. However, it's advisable to avoid strenuous or high-impact activities for at least 48 hours following each session to allow the treated area to recover.
-
How many treatments will I need? The number of treatments required varies from person to person and depends on how your body responds to the therapy. Typically, patients undergo between 4 to 6 treatments, scheduled weekly apart. Your Podiatrist will assess your progress and adjust the treatment plan as needed to achieve the best results.
​
By addressing these common concerns, patients can better understand what to expect from shockwave therapy and how to optimise their recovery process.
