Foot and Ankle Shockwave Therapy

Discover how shockwave therapy at Essex Podiatry can effectively treat a range of foot and ankle conditions, providing pain relief and promoting natural healing without the need for invasive procedures.

Conditions Treated with Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave therapy has proven particularly effective for several foot and ankle conditions, including:


Plantar Fasciitis:  Persistent heel pain can be relieved as shockwaves enhance cellular repair and reduce inflammation.


Achilles Tendinitis:  This condition, characterised by pain at the back of the heel, can benefit significantly from improved blood circulation and tissue regeneration induced by shockwave therapy.


Heel Spurs:  Often related to plantar fasciitis, shockwave therapy helps break down calcium deposits and relieve chronic pain associated with heel spurs.


Morton’s Neuroma:  Shockwave therapy can help ease the nerve pain caused by this nerve disorder, reducing swelling and discomfort.

Advantages of Shockwave Therapy

Choosing shockwave therapy at Essex Podiatry comes with meaningful advantages:


Non-Invasive:  Avoids the risks inherent in surgical procedures, with no incisions or stitches required.


Quick Recovery:  Patients can often return to their daily activities almost immediately following treatment, as there is no downtime or lengthy recovery period.


Effective Pain Relief:  Many patients experience significant reductions in pain levels after just a few sessions.


Natural Healing:  By facilitating the body’s own healing mechanisms, shockwave therapy offers a holistic approach to alleviating pain and improving mobility.


Minimal Side Effects:  Gentle and safe, with only minor temporary discomfort usually resolved shortly after the session.
