Shockwave therapy, also known as extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT), uses sound waves to help heal damaged tissues. It is especially effective for chronic issues like plantar fasciitis. At North Star Podiatry, we offer this innovative treatment to help patients recover from long-standing foot pain and injuries that have not responded to traditional methods.
One of the key benefits of shockwave therapy is its ability to promote the body’s natural healing process, even for nagging injuries that haven’t healed quickly. By delivering high-energy sound waves to the affected area, the therapy stimulates blood flow, reduces inflammation, and encourages tissue repair. This makes it particularly helpful for conditions like Achilles tendonitis, heel spurs, and other soft tissue injuries that can be difficult to treat.
The treatment is non-invasive, meaning there’s no need for surgery or lengthy recovery periods. Sessions are typically quick, and patients often report noticeable improvement after just a few treatments. Shockwave therapy is an excellent option for those seeking to avoid more invasive procedures, such as injections or surgery, while still achieving long-term reductions in chronic pain.
At North Star Podiatry, we pride ourselves on providing personalised care. Before starting shockwave therapy, our experienced podiatrists will conduct a thorough assessment to ensure it’s the right option for you. We tailor each treatment plan to suit your specific condition, so you can achieve the best possible outcomes and get back to enjoying daily activities without pain.
