Shockwave Therapy

At Leading Health Podiatry, we are proud to offer shockwave therapy, a cutting-edge, non-invasive treatment designed to relieve pain and accelerate healing. Whether you’re struggling with chronic heel pain, plantar fasciitis, or tendon injuries, shockwave therapy may be the solution you’ve been looking for.
What is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy uses high-energy acoustic waves to target injured or painful tissues. This stimulates blood flow, promotes tissue repair, and reduces pain. The therapy is particularly effective for treating chronic pain that hasn’t responded to other treatments.
Shockwave therapy is safe, fast, and does not require surgery or medication, making it a preferred choice for many patients.
Conditions Treated with Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy is effective for treating various foot and lower limb conditions, including:
- Plantar fasciitis (heel pain)
- Achilles tendinopathy
- Shin splints
- Heel spurs
- Morton’s neuroma
- Chronic muscle or tendon pain
If you’ve been suffering from persistent discomfort, shockwave therapy could help you regain your mobility and quality of life.
How Does Shockwave Therapy Work?
Shockwave therapy works by delivering acoustic energy to the affected area. Here’s how it helps:
- Stimulates Healing: The waves increase blood flow, delivering oxygen and nutrients to the injured tissue.
- Breaks Down Scar Tissue: It helps dissolve scar tissue, improving flexibility and movement.
- Pain Reduction: It desensitizes nerve endings to provide pain relief.
- Boosts Collagen Production: Collagen is essential for healing and strengthening tissues.

Shockwave therapy offers several key benefits:
- Non-invasive: No surgery, injections, or medications are required.
- Quick Treatment: Sessions typically last 15-20 minutes, with minimal downtime.
