Shockwave therapy for Chronic Pain Management
Know more about shockwave from podiatrist, Dr. Ankush Madan
At Best Foot Forward Podiatry and Orthotics, with clinics in Chadstone and Malvern Victoria, we are dedicated to providing our patients with the most effective and advanced treatments available. One such treatment is Shock Wave Therapy (SWT), a non-invasive option that has shown excellent results in managing various foot and ankle conditions, especially chronic pain.
Application of shockwave therapy:
Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis is a common cause of heel pain, often resulting from inflammation and degeneration of the plantar fascia—a thick band of tissue that supports the arch of your foot. If you’ve been struggling with persistent heel pain despite trying other treatments, Shock Wave Therapy could be the solution you need. This treatment delivers acoustic waves to the affected area, stimulating blood flow and promoting the healing of damaged tissue. For many patients, it has provided significant pain relief and a return to normal activity without the need for more invasive procedures.

Achilles Tendonitis
Achilles tendonitis, an overuse injury characterised by pain and inflammation of the Achilles tendon, can be particularly challenging to manage, especially for active individuals. Shock Wave Therapy offers a non-invasive alternative that reduces pain, decreases swelling, and encourages the body’s natural repair processes. By promoting cellular regeneration, SWT can help repair the damaged tendon, providing relief and aiding recovery.
Other Foot Conditions
In addition to plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendonitis, Shock Wave Therapy is effective in treating a range of other foot and ankle issues, including heel spurs, chronic tendon pain, and non-healing fractures. The treatment’s ability to enhance blood circulation and stimulate tissue regeneration makes it a versatile option for addressing stubborn or chronic conditions that have not responded to traditional therapies.

Benefits of shockwave therapy:
Non-Invasive
One of the most appealing aspects of Shock Wave Therapy is its non-invasive nature. Unlike surgery, SWT requires no incisions or general anaesthesia, and it doesn’t involve lengthy recovery times. This makes it an excellent option for those looking for effective treatment without the risks and downtime associated with more invasive procedures.
Improved Blood Flow
The acoustic sound waves delivered during Shock Wave Therapy increase blood flow to the affected area, which is crucial for healing. Enhanced circulation helps bring vital nutrients to damaged tissues, speeding up the body’s natural repair processes and reducing inflammation.
Pain Relief
Alleviating pain is a primary goal of any treatment, and Shock Wave Therapy is particularly effective in this regard. By improving blood flow and stimulating nerve activity, SWT offers significant pain relief for patients suffering from chronic foot and ankle conditions. Many of our patients experience a noticeable reduction in pain after just a few sessions.
Quick and Convenient
We understand that your time is valuable, which is why Shock Wave Therapy sessions typically last only 20-30 minutes. This makes it easy to fit treatment into your busy schedule without the need for extended recovery periods.
Long-Term Relief
One of the most compelling benefits of Shock Wave Therapy is its potential to provide long-term relief. By addressing the root cause of your pain and promoting tissue healing, SWT not only improves function but also helps you regain your mobility. For many, this treatment offers a pathway to a pain-free life without the need for ongoing medication or invasive interventions.
