Relieving pain in more than 70% of cases in just 3 sessions.

If you’ve been dealing with foot or heel pain that just won’t settle, it can start to affect everything from how you walk to how active you feel day to day. When rest, stretching, or insoles haven’t made a lasting difference, shockwave therapy offers another way forward.

At Green Podiatry, we use this advanced, non-invasive treatment to target the source of pain rather than just managing symptoms. By stimulating the body’s natural healing response, shockwave therapy helps reduce discomfort and support long-term recovery without the need for injections or surgery.

What is Shockwave Therapy?

Shockwave therapy is a clinically proven treatment that uses focused acoustic waves to stimulate healing in damaged or irritated tissue. These pulses pass through the skin to the affected area, encouraging increased blood flow and activating the body’s repair processes.

It’s particularly effective for chronic conditions where healing has slowed or stalled. By reactivating the natural recovery cycle, shockwave therapy helps break down stubborn tissue issues and reduces pain over time, rather than simply masking it.

What Can It Help With?

Shockwave therapy is widely used to treat common causes of foot and heel pain, especially when symptoms have been present for several months.

It is most effective for conditions such as plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendon pain, and other soft tissue injuries affecting the foot and ankle. These types of issues can often become persistent if left untreated, making them ideal candidates for this kind of targeted therapy.

If your pain isn’t improving with basic treatments, this is often the next step in getting things moving in the right direction again.

What to Expect?

Your treatment will always begin with an assessment to make sure shockwave therapy is suitable for you. Once confirmed, a handheld device is applied directly to the area of pain, delivering controlled pulses into the tissue.

Sessions are relatively quick, usually lasting around 15–20 minutes. You may feel some discomfort during treatment, particularly over more sensitive areas, but it is short-lived and adjusted to a level you can tolerate.

Most people benefit from a short course of treatments spaced over a few weeks. While some improvement can be felt early on, results typically build gradually as the body responds and heals.
