SHOCKWAVE 👣

Shockwave therapy is a treatment option available at Watsonia Podiatry to assist with healing. We can use it to treat a variety of conditions such as:

- Plantar fasciitis.
- Heel spurs.
- Ankle sprains.
- Knee pain.
- Fibromas.
- Shin splints.
- Tibialis posterior tendon dysfunction.
- Achilles tendinopathy

WHAT IS SHOCKWAVE?

Shockwave therapy involves the application of acoustic waveforms into the affected tissues in order to create a healing response. It can be used for acute and chronic conditions to assist with pain relief and to speed up the healing process. It stimulates the regeneration and repair of the injured structures.

Have you ever wondered why we have such a big treadmill? As podiatrists, it is our job to work out why you are in pain and then treat the problem accordingly. This pain may be located anywhere from your lower back all the way down to your feet 👣 The cause of this pain could be from a variety of problems, including injuries, strength or movement deficits or underlying medical conditions. By using the Zebris Treadmill, we are able to generate reports which show where you are placing the load through your feet and can give an insight as to why you are experiencing pain from your lower back down to your feet 🏃‍♀️🏃🏃‍♂️
It will also assist us with orthotic prescription to highlight where you need the most support.
If you’re needing help with your feet, call us on 9432 2689!
