Shockwave Therapy is relatively new to us at Bearsden Foot Clinic. Its proper name is Extra Corporeal Shockwave Therapy, or ECSWT for short. It is a handheld probe which, when placed over painful areas, fires high-energy sound waves to increase blood circulation and kick-start the healing process.
Shockwave therapy can help to:
All of our podiatrists are registered with the Health and Care Professions Council and The Royal College of Podiatry, so you can trust that your feet are in safe hands.
We never take a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach to your treatment. After an in-depth consultation, we design a personalised plan that gets you comfortably back on your feet as quickly as possible.
Not every podiatrist can deliver shockwave treatment. Our team has undergone extensive training to ensure we can deliver the best possible treatments - and results - for our clients.
Shockwave therapy can treat a wide range of conditions, including:
Each shockwave typically takes 10-15 minutes. Most of our clients notice a significant improvement in their comfort and function within just a couple of sessions.
We typically recommend somewhere between 3 and 5 sessions, with a week between each one.
Shockwave therapy can feel a bit nippy, but most patients tolerate it well. If the sensation is too intense, just let us know and we can tailor your treatment to make it more comfortable.
After your treatment, you might notice some redness, bruising, and numbness in the treated area. This is normal, and will resolve within a few days.
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive medical treatment that uses acoustic waves to stimulate blood flow and accelerate tissue repair in injured areas. Podiatrists frequently use this method to treat chronic conditions like plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendinopathy promoting natural healing without the need for surgery.
You might experience mild discomfort during the procedure as the acoustic waves target inflamed and damaged tissues. However the session only lasts for a few minutes and our skilled practitioners can easily adjust the intensity to ensure you remain as comfortable as possible.
Many of our local patients report an immediate reduction in their heel or arch pain shortly after the session concludes. We will also provide clear aftercare instructions to help manage any temporary soreness once you return home.
Yes you can typically walk immediately after your appointment and drive yourself home without any issues. We do recommend avoiding strenuous activities like heavy weightlifting or rigorous running for a couple of days following your treatment.
Gentle walking around your neighbourhood or light daily tasks will not disrupt the healing process. Our team will guide you on exactly when you can safely resume your full exercise routine across the local area.
