Shockwave therapy, also known as extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT), is a non-invasive treatment method used to address chronic foot pain, particularly conditions such as plantar fasciitis and all tendonitis.

This therapy involves the application of acoustic waves to the affected area, which stimulate the healing process by increasing blood flow and promoting tissue regeneration. The treatment can help reduce pain and inflammation, break down scar tissue, and improve mobility.

Shockwave therapy is often considered when traditional treatments, such as rest, physical therapy, or orthotics, have not provided sufficient relief. It is typically performed in a series of sessions and is valued for its ability to deliver effective results without the need for surgery.
