Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) is a clinically proven, non-invasive treatment that uses low-energy soundwaves to stimulate the body's natural healing response.
At The Podiatry Centre, we use radial shockwave therapy, which can penetrate tissues up to 5 cm deep. This makes it particularly effective for treating chronic tendon and fascia conditions of the foot and ankle, including:

ESWT is often recommended for patients whose symptoms have not improved with rest, stretching, orthotics or other conservative treatments.

This treatment is available in all of our clinics.
