Service Details

What is Shockwave Therapy?

Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses sound waves to reduce pain levels and accelerate healing times.

The sound waves increases the blood flow within the affected area, stimulating cell regeneration and healing, and decreasing local factors which can cause pain. It is often used to treat:

  • Plantar Fasciitis

  • Achilles Tendon Injuries

  • Morton's Neuroma

  • Osteoarthritis

WHAT TO EXPECT AT

Your Consultation

Podiatry Consultation

HISTORY

Your practitioner will take a full medical, medication & lifestyle history if you have never visited the clinic before, or review it if you have. All your information is taken in a private room and stored on our secure database for your privacy & security.

Podiatry Assessment

ASSESSMENT

Before any treatment, your practitioner will undertake a visual and sometimes physical examination to assess the cause of your condition and the treatment plan they will follow to achieve the best outcome.

Podiatry Treatment

TREATMENT

Once you and our practitioner are happy with the treatment plan, we will apply a connecting gel to the affected area and the shockwaves will be delivered via the pulsating applicator. We aim to deliver 2000 pulses, which typically takes 3 minutes per treatment site.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the cost of shockwave therapy?

We aim to provide professional, affordable foot care at all times. Our treatment fees therefore reflect the high standard of care we provide. CLICK HERE to view our fees for this service.

How many treatments will I need?

The most recent research points to how long you’ve had your injury for as to how many sessions may be required. If for example, you’ve had pain for between 6 weeks and 3 months, typically 3 sessions are required. For those with pain over 6 months, 5+ sessions maybe required.

Our practitioner will assess your response after each session to determine how many more treatments may be needed.

Treatments are spaced 1 week apart, as Shockwave Therapy has a cumulative effect.
