What is Shockwave Therapy?

Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy is a new technology utilised to treat painful and chronic musculoskeletal conditions that have been present for 6 months or more and in cases where icing, stretching, footwear modification, strapping or orthoses have not been able to resolve 100% of the issue.Conditions that can be easily treated with Shockwave Therapy:

  • Heel Spurs
  • Severs Condition

  • Ganglion

How does Shockwave Therapy work?

Shockwave Therapy is a safe, gentle and non-invasive treatment that works through the use of high intensity sound waves being transmitted from the probe to a localised area. Initially, it may feel uncomfortable, however, this indicates that the podiatrist is targeting the correct area. The treatment only goes for a few minutes and pain relief is almost instantaneous. The Podiatrist applies a gel to the skin and will move the probe around, concentrating on a range of muscles and areas that are tense, tight or chronically injured. The goal is to enhance metabolic activity and enhance bloody supply, stimulate a healing response and reduce pain and inflammation.

The benefits of Shockwave Therapy include:

  • Success rate of 75% in clinical studies.
  • Non-invasive solution for chronic pain in shoulder, back, heel, knee or elbow.
  • No needles, drugs or anaesthesia required during treatment.
  • No surgery required
  • Treatment is fast & effective with excellent cost/ effectiveness ratio.
  • New technology with proven medical benefits.
  • Used in orthopaedics, rehabilitation and sports medicine.
  • No side effects.
