Built for the pain that won't go away

Acoustic waves that wake up healing

Shockwave delivers precise, high energy acoustic pulses to the injured tissue. Those pulses increase local blood flow and trigger the body's natural repair response, exactly where chronic tendon and fascia problems stall.

It's noninvasive and takes minutes per session. It can feel uncomfortable during treatment, but most people tolerate it well. Your podiatrist will explain what to expect and whether it suits your condition.

Frequently asked questions

What happens at my shockwave therapy consultation?
It's a comprehensive consultation including history taking, assessment, clinical testing, footwear assessment and diagnosis. At times we may perform an in house ultrasound scan or refer you for further imaging.
What is shockwave therapy and how does it work?
Shockwave therapy is a safe, non-invasive treatment that uses targeted acoustic waves to stimulate blood flow and the body's natural healing process. It's often used for stubborn conditions that haven't improved with other treatments, and can be a valuable option in your recovery plan.
What conditions can shockwave therapy help with?
It may be recommended as part of your care for plantar fasciitis (heel pain), Achilles tendinopathy, shin splints, forefoot pain (metatarsalgia) and chronic muscle tightness or tendon pain.
Is shockwave therapy suitable for everyone?
Shockwave therapy is appropriate for tendon, fascia and muscle pathology, however there are times it may be contraindicated. If this is the case, your podiatrist may suggest alternative treatment options.
Will treatment start at my first appointment?
Yes. Our podiatrists commence treatment at this first consultation. We assess the cause of your pain and create a personalised treatment plan, tailored to you, your symptoms and your lifestyle.
Is shockwave therapy painful?
Shockwave therapy is often uncomfortable when performing the treatment, however, most patients tolerate it without any concerns and do not experience a significant increase in pain after treatment.
Can you exercise after shockwave therapy?
You can return to work and most normal daily activities immediately. We recommend avoiding high-impact activities such as running and jumping for 48 hours after each session.
How many sessions are typically needed?
This depends on the condition being treated and how you respond. Your podiatrist will discuss an expected treatment course with you as part of your assessment.
