Shockwave Therapy Carlisle

Our professional podiatrists use Shockwave Therapy (SWT) for fast, safe and effective treatment of a range of conditions, particularly in alleviating chronic foot pain and restoring mobility.
It’s scientifically proven, non-invasive and non-surgical and the results are quick and long-term.

SWT involves directing high energy acoustic waves to the chronic pain sites. These radial pressure waves are administered through a handheld probe blood flow and cause increased metabolic activity in the affected areas. This results in a dramatic decrease in pain and acceleration of the healing process.
The treatment also stimulates the production of new blood vessels and collagen leading to muscle, bone, tendon and soft tissue repair and regeneration. In other words, SWT stimulates the body’s own healing properties.
No anaesthesia is required and it is suitable for all ages.

Shockwave Therapy can be used to treat:

• Chronic foot pain and inflammation
• Plantar Fasciitis
• Achilles tendonitis
• Morton’s Neuroma
• Pain trigger points
• Peroneal tendonitis

• Quick, safe and effective
• Non-invasive in-room treatment
• Enables faster and long-term pain relief (patients usually experience immediate relief after a single session, with patients reporting up to 90% improvement after 3-6 sessions)
• Improved mobility

After therapy, some individuals may experience worsened symptoms, however this only lasts for 24 hours. In most cases, patients report feeling better, and their pain levels tend to decrease. One to two days following treatment, there can be some redness or bruising; however, these effects go away after a few days.
