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).
