Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave Therapy

At Bucks Podiatry, we proudly provide Shockwave Therapy, a highly effective treatment for various musculoskeletal conditions. This innovative, non-invasive therapy offers our patients a convenient option, eliminating the need for incisions and downtime while promoting faster recovery.
What is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy, also known as extracorporeal shockwave therapy or radial shockwave therapy, is a non-invasive treatment involving high-energy acoustic pulses to target and stimulate the affected area.

These high-energy sound waves help to reduce pain and inflammation while promoting the healing process within the tissues. This treatment increases blood flow to the affected area, enhances tissue regeneration, and stimulates the body's natural healing mechanisms.

As a result, patients often experience immediate relief and improved mobility, allowing them to return to their favourite activities more quickly.
What is shockwave therapy used for?
Shockwave therapy is specifically designed to assist our patients experiencing chronic conditions and musculoskeletal disorders such as:
  • Plantar Fasciitis
  • Achilles Tendinopathy
  • Calcified Tendons
  • Other forms of lower limb tendinopathy
  • Heel Spur
  • Chronic Heel Pain
  • Shin splints
  • Ankle sprain
How does shockwave therapy work?
Shockwave therapy offers several advantages over traditional methods.
It uses high-energy acoustic waves to effectively address musculoskeletal conditions without requiring medications, steroid injections, or surgery. Patients can typically resume normal activities in less than 24 hours after treatment.
Shockwave therapy can:
  • Reduce pain for musculoskeletal conditions
  • Speed up healing of damaged tissues
  • Enhance blood flow and support tissue regeneration
  • Improve joint range of motion, mobility and flexibility
  • Accelerate cell regeneration and collagen production
  • Alleviate muscle tightness and tension
  • Release painful trigger points in muscles
  • Breakdown of calcium build-ups in tissues
These benefits make shockwave therapy an attractive option for individuals seeking effective, non-invasive treatment for various musculoskeletal conditions.
What happens in a shockwave appointment?
After your assessment, our podiatrist may suggest shockwave therapy for you. Each session may require 3-5 treatments, depending on the severity of your condition. The treatment involves applying a cold gel and using sound waves to treat damaged tissues, and it may cause some discomfort. However, you will likely experience a good reduction in symptoms after each session.
Why choose shockwave therapy?
Consider shockwave therapy for your treatment:
  • No need for injections or medications
  • Non-invasive and non-surgical
  • Reduces pain and enhances healing
  • Stimulates the body’s natural repair processes
Is shockwave therapy painful?
Some may experience mild tenderness during shockwave therapy, which subsides after treatment. The severity of the injury can influence tenderness. We can adjust settings and intensity as needed.

If you're struggling with a persistent injury or condition resistant to traditional treatments, schedule a consultation with our experts.
We will evaluate your situation and provide personalised recommendations tailored to your needs. Take the first step towards effective relief and improved well-being with shockwave therapy!

Each patient has a plan made to suit them, their goals and their stages of injury/recovery.
