Shockwave Therapy, also known as Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT), is an advanced treatment used to target chronic pain and soft tissue injuries. It works by delivering high-energy sound waves into the affected area to stimulate the body’s natural healing response, improve circulation, and support tissue regeneration. At The Foot Clinics, we offer Shockwave Therapy across Albury, Wodonga and Wagga Wagga for patients dealing with ongoing pain that has not responded well to more conservative care.
Shockwave Therapy is a non-invasive procedure that uses focused sound waves to target areas of chronic pain or injury. It is commonly used for conditions such as plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, heel spurs, patellar tendinopathy, and chronic muscle strains, making it a valuable option for patients looking to avoid surgery or long-term reliance on medication.

Shockwave Therapy works by delivering targeted sound waves through the skin to the injured tissue. These waves stimulate the body’s natural healing response, which may help increase blood flow, reduce inflammation, break down calcium deposits, and support tissue repair. Over time, this can help reduce pain and improve function in the treated area.
This treatment is particularly useful for soft tissue conditions that have not responded well to conservative care, such as rest, orthotics, or physiotherapy.

Shockwave Therapy is commonly used for chronic soft tissue conditions that have not improved with rest, orthotics, stretching, or other conservative treatment. On your live page, it is specifically positioned for conditions such as plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, heel spurs, patellar tendinopathy, and chronic muscle strains or tears.
Most patients require between 3 and 6 sessions, usually spaced 1 to 2 weeks apart. The exact number will depend on the condition being treated, the severity of the issue, and how your body responds throughout the course of treatment. Each session typically takes around 20 minutes.
Patients may feel mild discomfort during treatment as the sound waves are delivered into the affected tissue, but this usually eases as the session continues. The intensity can also be adjusted based on your comfort level and the area being treated, allowing the treatment to be tailored to you.
Some patients notice improvement after their first session, but the full benefits are often seen several weeks after the final treatment. Pain relief is commonly noticed within 2 to 4 weeks, with the healing response continuing over the following months as the tissue repairs.
After each session, patients are generally advised to avoid heavy physical activity for 48 hours to give the body time to respond to treatment. Ongoing management may also include stretching exercises, custom orthotics, or footwear changes to help support long-term recovery.
