Shockwave Therapy for Plantar Fasciitis | Leading Health Podiatry
What Is Shockwave Therapy for Plantar Fasciitis?
Shockwave therapy is an evidence-based treatment that uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate healing in damaged tissues. It’s particularly effective for chronic plantar fasciitis — a painful condition caused by inflammation of the plantar fascia, the thick band of tissue running across the bottom of your foot.
This non-surgical treatment encourages blood flow, breaks down scar tissue, and promotes tissue regeneration, all while reducing pain and inflammation.
How Many Sessions of Shockwave Therapy for Plantar Fasciitis?
One of the most frequently asked questions we receive is:
“How many sessions of shockwave therapy do I need for plantar fasciitis?”
At Leading Health Podiatry, we typically recommend 4 to 5 sessions, spaced one week apart. This allows your body to gradually heal between treatments while delivering lasting results.
Some patients report noticeable improvement after just 2–3 sessions, but completing the full treatment plan maximises long-term pain relief and recovery.
