About Shockwave Therapy
At DC Podiatry, we use Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT), a non-invasive, high energy acoustic wave. It is an evidence-based treatment that helps stimulate your body’s natural healing response for chronic soft tissue and tendon conditions.
The aim of these high energy acoustic waves are to:
- Increase blood circulation to damaged tissues
- Break down scar tissues and calcific deposits
- Stimulate collagen production and cell regeneration
- Reduce pain and inflammation by resetting local nerve activity
What to Expect?
- Treatment takes about 10-15 minutes and is based on tolerance; 2000-4000 pulses may be delivered during each session. Most clients will experience a reduction in pain after the 2nd session. A total of 4-6 sessions is what most clients would need to get back to their normal activity.
- Treatment may cause discomfort, a mild scattered prickling sensation which will be adjusted to each patient’s tolerance level. We adhere to aradual increase in intensity instead of spiking it to avoid any potential adverse effects
Aftercare and Recovery
After treatment, some patients may feel mild soreness, warmth, and mild swelling for 24-48hours, which is a normal part of the healing response. We usually recommend:
AVOIDING
high impact activity for 1-2 days
CONTINUING
stretching and strengthening exercises
USING
supportive footwear or custom orthotics if indicated
Follow-up sessions and reassessments will be scheduled to monitor your improvement.
