Shockwave Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses acoustic wave energy to stimulate healing in injured or irritated soft tissue. It is commonly used for ongoing heel pain, plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendon pain, and other persistent tendon conditions.
At Undefeeted Podiatry, Shockwave Therapy may be recommended when pain has been present for a longer period or when the tissue needs extra stimulation to support recovery.
What Can Shockwave Therapy Help With?
Shockwave Therapy may be suitable for:
Plantar fasciitis
Heel pain
Achilles tendinopathy
Tendon pain
Soft tissue injuries
Chronic foot or ankle pain
Sports-related overuse injuries
How It Works
Shockwave Therapy delivers controlled acoustic pulses into the affected area. These pulses help stimulate blood flow, tissue repair, and the body’s natural healing response.It does not involve surgery, injections, or medication.
What to Expect
Your podiatrist will first assess your foot or ankle to confirm whether Shockwave Therapy is appropriate. During treatment, you may feel a tapping or pulsing sensation over the affected area.Some people feel improvement after a few sessions, while others may require a structured treatment plan depending on their condition.
