Heel Pain Treatment (Shockwave)
Heel Pain Treatment (Shockwave)
Shockwave Therapy for Lasting Pain Relief
Persistent heel, arch, or Achilles pain? Footprints Podiatry offers Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT)—a safe, non-invasive treatment designed to stimulate natural healing and reduce chronic pain.
How It Works
Shockwave uses high-energy acoustic sound waves to treat the injured tissue. When the handheld device is applied to the affected area, these waves create a therapeutic micro-trauma, stimulating blood flow, promoting new cell growth, and breaking down scar tissue and calcium deposits. This process helps your body “reboot” its healing cycle, leading to pain reduction and improved function.
