Shockwave therapy, or Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT), is a non-invasive medical approach that employs acoustic waves to enhance healing and alleviate pain in musculoskeletal conditions. During the treatment, a handheld probe is moved over the base of the heel/arch of the foot or Achilles Tendon, delivering high-energy sound waves. These waves stimulate tissue regeneration, boost blood flow, and break down scar tissue, expediting the healing process.
Typically used in conjunction with other treatments, this ultrasonic therapy provides a lasting solution for conditions like Plantar Fasciitis, Achilles Tendonitis / Tendinosis, Shin splints (medial tibial stress syndrome), painful trigger points around feet and ankles and musculoskeletal disorders of the feet and ankles.
