Management with Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT)
When chronic foot and ankle conditions do not respond to conventional conservative treatments, Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) offers a clinically recognized, non-invasive alternative. This technology is particularly effective for persistent musculoskeletal issues that have reached a “non-healing” or chronic state.
Conditions Addressed by Shockwave Therapy
Our Chiropodists utilize Shockwave Therapy to manage a variety of stubborn conditions, including:
- Plantar Fasciitis &Fasciosis (Chronic heel and arch pain)
- Achilles Tendinitis
- Calcific Tendinosis
- Morton’s Neuromas
- Persistent Muscle & Joint Injuries
How Shockwave Therapy Stimulates Healing
Shockwave therapy involves the application of high-intensity, short-duration energy waves to the affected area. These waves interact with the soft tissues to initiate a biological response, often referred to as “re-starting” the healing process.
- Cellular Stimulation: The energy waves encourage the body’s natural regenerative abilities, moving chronic injuries back into an active healing phase.
- Pain Management: Beyond tissue repair, the therapy has a direct effect on localized nerves, which can help diminish chronic pain levels.
- Increased Circulation: The treatment promotes blood flow to the targeted area, which is essential for repairing damaged tendons and ligaments.
Why Consider This Modality?
Shockwave Therapy is a unique clinical tool because it is specifically designed for injuries that have failed to heal through traditional physiotherapy or rest.
- Non-Invasive: A professional alternative to surgical intervention for chronic pain.
- No Systemic Side Effects: Unlike long-term medication, this is a localized treatment with no pharmacological risks.
- Clinical Efficiency: Patients often report a noticeable improvement in comfort and mobility shortly after completing the recommended sessions.
Professional Assessment for Optimal Results
The success of Shockwave Therapy depends on a proper assessment. During your initial clinical assessment, our Chiropodists will evaluate your specific injury, medical history, and lifestyle to determine if you are an appropriate candidate for this technology.
Our goal is to improve your quality of life by restoring function and comfort to your feet and ankles.
