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 safe, evidence-backed, and takes minutes per session. Most people feel a dull tapping rather than pain, and walk straight out afterwards.

Wondering whether shockwave suits what you have got?

It is not right for everything, and we would rather say so before you book than after. Shockwave has a place with some stubborn tendon and heel problems and does very little for others. Tell us what is going on and a podiatrist will read it and give you a straight answer.

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 contra-indicated. 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.
