The Top 5 Foot Problems Shockwave Therapy Can Help Treat
Let’s be honest—foot pain is no joke.
It nags. It burns. It keeps you from walking, working, and even sleeping.
You try stretching. Ice packs. Rest.
And still—it’s there.
But here’s the good news:
Shockwave therapy has helped hundreds of our patients at The Foot & Lower Limb Clinic finally find relief.
And no, it’s not sci-fi. It’s a proven treatment used worldwide for chronic pain.
In this post, we’re breaking down the top 5 foot problems that shockwave therapy can help—fast.
1. Plantar Fasciitis (a.k.a. Morning Heel Pain)
If you dread getting out of bed because your heels feel like they’re being stabbed… you’re not imagining things.
That thick band under your foot (the plantar fascia) is inflamed and overworked.
Shockwave therapy boosts healing and breaks up painful scar tissue—getting you walking pain-free again.
2. Achilles Tendon Pain
Feel a sharp ache or swelling at the back of your ankle? That’s your Achilles tendon waving the white flag.
Shockwave therapy helps:
Reduce inflammation
Increase blood flow
Get you back to activity safely
Great for runners, gym-goers, or anyone who’s just tired of limping.
3. Heel Spurs
You may not even know you have a heel spur until the pain becomes constant. These little bony growths cause big problems.
While surgery is one option, shockwave therapy offers a non-invasive way to reduce the pain and pressure—without downtime.
4. Shin Splints
Pain on the front or inside of your lower leg?
Shin splints can flare up from walking, running, or even standing too long.
Shockwave therapy helps the tissue heal quicker so you can stay active without flinching every step.
5. Long-Term Foot Pain (That Nothing Else Has Helped)
Maybe it started small… but now that foot pain is always there.
If physio, painkillers, or custom insoles haven’t done the trick, shockwave might be the breakthrough your foot needs to finally heal.
