What is Shockwave Therapy?

What is it

Shockwave Therapy involves the application of radial pressure waves to a specific area of pain. These waves stimulate faster tissue turnover, which triggers a healing response. Additionally, this treatment is also used as a means to improve range of motion, mitigate pain and reduce tightness of muscles and tendons. These waves are administered using a handheld device.

Here at Atwell Podiatry, we strive to provide our patients with holistic health care to help them recover faster, with lasting results. If you are suffering from any of the conditions listed below, and you have exhausted all other options, shockwave therapy, might just be the answer you’ve been searching for.

• Myofascial trigger points – localised tender or painful area
• Tendinopathies eg, plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, Morton’s Neuroma
• Activation of muscle and connective tissue, eg. Increased circulation
