Shockwave Therapy For Heel Pain
How Does Shockwave Therapy Work
Happy Feet Podiatry has been offering Shockwave Therapy (EWST) since 2012, providing our patients with a innovative,
non-invasive solution for muscle and joint pain. This treatment is designed to stimulate the body’s natural healing process, allowing for faster recovery without the need for surgery or medication.
Best of all, there’s no downtime—patients can return to their daily activities immediately after treatment.
Shockwave Therapy has become one of our most trusted treatments for relieving pain and improving mobility with conditions like: heel spurs, plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, shin splints, and muscle knots (trigger points).

How Does Shockwave Therapy Work?
Shockwave Therapy works by utilising acoustic wave energy to produce mechanical pressure pulses. These pulses are applied to the painful area, producing a series of shockwaves that expand throughout the tissue. This stimulates a healing reaction by causing microscopic repairs, which results in tissue regeneration.
The shockwaves have an analgesic effect resulting in pain relief, and they also increase blood flow to the area to facilitate the repair process helping you get back to activity sooner.

Shockwave is non-invasive and does not require any medication or anaesthesia.
Patients will usually require 3-5 treatment sessions, depending on the condition being treated, how severe it is and how long the problem has been present. People will usually feel relief from the first session, and will generally walk out in less pain than they walked in with due to the shockwaves analgesic effect.
Treatment might be uncomfortable for some patients, depending on how severe patients pain levels are to start with. However sessions will become more tolerable after each treatment.
