Shockwave Therapy Has Entered The Chat

If you’ve been dealing with stubborn foot or ankle pain that just won’t quit whether it’s from plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis, or even chronic heel pain, shockwave therapy might be the breakthrough treatment you’ve been waiting for.

What Is Shockwave Therapy?

Shockwave therapy (also called extracorporeal shockwave therapy or ESWT) uses focused sound waves to stimulate healing in damaged tissues. It’s a non-invasive treatment done in the office that takes just minutes but can trigger long-term improvements in pain and function.

Conditions It Helps

Shockwave therapy has been clinically proven to help with:

• Plantar fasciitis (especially when chronic)

• Achilles tendinitis

• Posterior tibial tendinitis

• Peroneal tendinitis

• Stress injuries and shin splints

• Non-healing soft tissue injuries

Why It Works

The sound waves create microtrauma in the tissue, which kickstarts your body’s natural repair process. This brings increased blood flow, breaks up scar tissue, and helps stimulate collagen production which is one of the key building blocks of healthy tendons and fascia.

What Patients Love About It

• No injections, surgery, or downtime

• Quick in-office treatment

• Proven to reduce pain and improve mobility

• Can help avoid more invasive procedures
