What Is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave Therapy (also known as ESWT) is a non-invasive, non-surgical treatment used to target stubborn pain and injuries. It’s particularly effective for conditions like Plantar Fasciitis and Achilles Tendinopathy especially when other treatments haven’t worked.
This clever treatment helps to reduce pain, boost blood flow to the area, and trigger your body’s natural healing response by stimulating stem cells. Most people need between 3 to 6 weekly sessions, depending on the severity of the issue.
Shockwave Therapy can be helpful for a range of chronic or long-term conditions, including:
- Plantar heel pain – plantar fasciitis, heel spurs
- Achilles tendinopathy
- Shin splints
- Stress fractures
- Chronic and long-term ankle injuries
- Muscle and tendon injuries
