What Is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave Therapy (also known as ESWT) uses high-energy acoustic sound waves delivered through a handheld device to the injured area of the foot or ankle.
These pulses trigger your body’s natural healing processes by:
- Increasing blood circulation
- Stimulating tissue repair and regeneration
- Reducing pain sensitivity in nerves
- Breaking down scar tissue or calcification
The treatment is non-invasive, requires no surgery or injections, and most sessions take around 10–20 minutes.
Many patients experience relief within a few sessions, with the full benefits developing over the following weeks as healing occurs.

Our Shockwave Therapy Programme at Oakwood Podiatry
Step 1 : Examination and Gait Assessment
Your podiatrist will begin with a comprehensive assessment of your lower limb.
We’ll examine:
- Your symptoms
- Your activity levels
- Your biomechanics and gait
- The exact structure causing the pain
This helps us determine if shockwave therapy is the right treatment for your condition.
Step 2 - Shockwave Treatment Sessions
If appropriate, we’ll begin your shockwave therapy programme.
During treatment:
- A handheld device delivers targeted acoustic waves to the injured tissue.
- Each session lasts around 10–20 minutes.
- Most patients require 3–6 sessions spaced about one week apart.
Many patients notice reduced pain even after the first session, with improvement continuing as healing progresses.
Step 3 - Recovery & Return To Activity
Shockwave therapy works best when combined with a personalised recovery plan.
Your podiatrist may also provide:
- Stretching and strengthening exercises
- Footwear advice
- Activity modification guidance
- Orthotics if needed
Our goal is not just to reduce pain — but to address the underlying cause of the problem and help prevent it from returning.
