Oct 21, 2025Shockwave Therapy for Foot and Ankle Pain: How It Helps You Heal Faster
Foot and ankle pain can be stubborn. Whether it’s plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis, or general heel pain, these conditions can make every step a struggle — especially if you’re on your feet all day. At Foot Corner in Ashford, we use Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) to help our patients get back on their feet faster and with less pain.
What Is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses pulses of acoustic energy to stimulate your body’s natural healing process. These high-energy sound waves increase blood flow and encourage tissue repair in the affected area — without the need for injections or surgery.
How Does It Work?
When the shockwaves are directed into painful or inflamed tissue, they:
-
Stimulate cell regeneration and collagen production
-
Break down scar tissue or calcium build-up
-
Improve blood circulation and oxygen supply
-
Help reduce inflammation and pain
Most patients notice a gradual improvement after a few sessions, as the body continues to heal even after treatment.
What Conditions Can It Help?
At Foot Corner, we often recommend shockwave therapy for:
-
Plantar fasciitis (heel pain)
-
Achilles tendinitis
-
Metatarsalgia
-
Heel spurs
-
Chronic muscle or tendon pain
What to Expect
You’ll usually need a course of three sessions, spaced one week apart. Each session lasts about 15–20 minutes, and while some mild discomfort may occur during treatment, it’s usually very well tolerated. There’s no downtime — you can walk straight out of the clinic and continue with your day.
Why Choose Foot Corner?
Our experienced podiatrists combine shockwave therapy with other tailored treatments such as orthotics, stretching plans, and laser therapy to ensure long-lasting results. We take the time to understand your pain and help you get back to moving comfortably again.
