Shockwave Therapy, or Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT), is a type of non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy sound waves (not electrical shocks) to stimulate healing in damaged or inflamed tissues- treating pain.
A handheld device delivers acoustic waves directly to the painful area, increasing blood flow, breaking down scar tissue, and triggering the body’s natural healing response. Over time, this helps reduce chronic pain, improve mobility, and restore function — all without the need for surgery or medication.

What to expect from a treatment and potential overall benefits:
- Improvement of blood and lymphatic circulation
- Shorten overall treatment timeframe
- Reduction in pain
- Minimal side effects
- Reduction of muscle tension
- Improved range of motion
- Strengthening of connective tissue
- No medication required
- Increase cell regeneration
- No anesthetics required


Call us today at Footpoint Podiatry on 07 3256 0455 to enquire about our shockwave therapy treatments!

Swift Microwave Therapy is a non-invasive and highly effective treatment option for skin lesions such as warts, papillomas or verrucae.
