Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave Treatment for Chronic Foot & Heel Pain
Shockwave therapy is a clinically proven, non-invasive treatment we use to stimulate your body’s natural healing response—especially for stubborn, chronic conditions that haven’t responded to other therapies. It works by delivering high-frequency sound waves to injured tissue, promoting blood flow, breaking down scar tissue, and speeding up recovery.
At Rose Bay Podiatry, we commonly use shockwave for:
- Heel pain
- Plantar fasciitis
- Achilles tendonitis
- and other tendon-related issues.
It’s quick, safe, and requires no downtime—making it an ideal solution for active patients who want lasting relief without surgery.

What is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-frequency sound waves to stimulate healing in damaged tissue. It’s commonly used to treat persistent foot and heel pain, including plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendonitis, by improving blood flow, breaking down scar tissue, and encouraging tissue repair.
Is Shockwave Therapy painful?
Most people describe it as uncomfortable rather than painful—like a tapping or pulsing sensation. The treatment intensity is adjusted to suit your tolerance, and sessions are short (usually under 10 minutes).
How many sessions will I need?
Most patients benefit from a course of 3–6 sessions, spaced weekly. Your podiatrist will assess your condition and recommend the number of treatments needed for optimal results.
Is there any downtime after Shockwave Therapy?
No. There’s no downtime—meaning you can return to normal activities straight after treatment. It’s a great option for active individuals who want fast recovery without time off.
