We are one of the only podiatry clinics in Perth to offer shockwave therapy. Popularised by Olympic teams as a treatment for injury recovery, shockwave therapy is non-invasive, using high-energy sound waves to stimulate nerve fibres. Shockwave therapy has proven to be very effective against a range of chronic soft tissue conditions of the lower limb, such as chronic Achilles tendinitis and plantar fasciitis.
Treatments usually last between five and ten minutes, and the amount of treatments can vary from three to five sessions several days apart, and a six week follow-up.
It can be an alternative to the use of orthotics however, most people require the use of orthotics for the long term resolution of their heel pain.
