Fast, Effective Relief for Persistent Foot and Leg Pain

Shockwave Therapy is a non-invasive treatment designed to stimulate your body’s natural healing response. Using high-energy acoustic waves, the treatment targets injured or painful tissues beneath the skin, encouraging increased blood circulation, tissue regeneration and long-term pain relief. Shockwave Therapy has been extensively researched and is particularly effective for conditions that have not improved with traditional treatments. If you’ve already tried rest, ice, stretching, strengthening exercises, supportive footwear or orthotics without lasting relief, Shockwave Therapy may be the next step in your recovery. Many patients begin noticing improvement after only a few sessions, with continued benefits developing in the weeks following treatment.

Our approach at Ashmore Podiatry focuses on both personalised preventative and responsive treatment to resolve acute, recurring, and chronic issues.

  • Plantar fasciitis
  • Achilles Tendinopathy
  • Shin splints
  • Knee tendon pain
  • Persistent tendon, ligament and soft tissue injuries
  • Reduce local inflammation
