Advanced Foot Care with Shockwave Therapy at Foster Foot Care Clinic
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate healing in chronic foot conditions. At Foster Foot Care Clinic, our licensed chiropodist offers shockwave therapy to treat conditions such as plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, and tendon injuries, providing pain relief and promoting natural tissue repair.
What Is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy involves delivering controlled acoustic waves to affected areas of the foot. These waves:
- Stimulate blood flow and circulation
- Promote tissue regeneration and healing
- Reduce inflammation and pain
- Break down calcifications and scar tissue in chronic conditions
This therapy is non-surgical, safe, and can be combined with other treatments such as orthotics, stretching, and physical therapy.
Conditions Treated with Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy is effective for several chronic foot and lower limb conditions, including:
- Plantar fasciitis and heel pain
- Heel spurs
- Achilles tendonitis and tendinopathies
- Chronic soft tissue injuries in the foot and ankle
- Persistent pain that has not responded to conventional treatments
Patients often experience significant improvements, including:
- Reduced pain and discomfort
- Improved mobility and function
- Non-invasive alternative to surgery
- Faster recovery compared to conventional treatments
- Support for long-term healing and prevention of recurrence
Shockwave Therapy Procedure
During the treatment:
- The affected area is examined and prepared
- A gel is applied to help transmit shockwaves
- The shockwave device is applied to the targeted area for several minutes
- Multiple sessions may be recommended, depending on the severity and chronicity of the condition
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the procedure and can return to normal activities shortly afterward.
💡 Many patients begin to feel improvement after just a few sessions, especially when combined with proper footwear or orthotics.
Post-Treatment Care & Recovery
After shockwave therapy, patients are advised to:
- Rest the treated area for a short period
- Perform gentle stretching and strengthening exercises
- Follow any recommendations regarding footwear or orthotics
- Attend follow-up appointments to monitor progress
Most patients notice improvement within a few weeks, with continued benefits over time.
