Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave Therapy allows us to non invasively tackle chronic Plantar Fasciitis and other foot pains.
​
Plantar Fasciitis is an inflammation of the plantar fascia, it can be painful under the ball of the heel near the mid line of the body,
​
This treatment spreads shock waves through the impaired tissue, which then stimulates cells which are responsible for tissue reparation and after the tissue regenerates and heals.
​
Due to this treatment causing an inflammatory response, advice is that you do not take any anti-inflammatory medication. If you should need to take anything for pain, use paracetamol (as long as you can take this medicine).
