Overview

Find lasting relief from chronic foot and heel pain with Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) at Fine Podiatry Clinic in Singapore. Shockwave Therapy is a highly effective, non-invasive treatment that uses targeted acoustic energy waves to stimulate your body’s natural healing processes. It is clinically proven to successfully treat persistent conditions like Plantar Fasciitis (heel spur syndrome) and Achilles Tendinopathy, helping you return to your daily activities faster and without the need for injections or surgery.

Key Benefits

Why Choose Shockwave Therapy at Fine Podiatry Clinic?

When dealing with persistent foot pain, Shockwave Therapy offers significant advantages under the expert care of our podiatrists:

  • Clinically Proven Effectiveness: ESWT has extensive research supporting its success in treating chronic tendon and soft tissue conditions, particularly when other conservative treatments have failed.
  • Non-Invasive Solution: Avoid the risks, downtime, and potential complications associated with injections or surgical procedures.
  • Stimulates Natural Healing: The therapy works by triggering the body’s own repair mechanisms, promoting tissue regeneration, increasing blood flow, and reducing pain signals at the source.
  • Targeted Treatment: Precisely delivers energy waves to the affected area, ensuring focused treatment for maximum benefit.
  • Quick & Convenient Sessions: Each treatment session is relatively short (typically 10-15 minutes), allowing easy integration into your schedule.
  • Expert Podiatric Care: Performed by qualified podiatrists who accurately diagnose your condition and administer the therapy effectively as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.

What to Expect

What to Expect During Your Shockwave Therapy

Your journey towards pain relief with Shockwave Therapy is straightforward:

  1. Consultation & Diagnosis: We start with a thorough assessment of your condition, including discussing your symptoms, medical history, and potentially using diagnostic imaging, to confirm if Shockwave Therapy is the right treatment for you.
  2. Treatment Preparation: Your podiatrist will precisely locate the area requiring treatment. A coupling gel is applied to your skin over this area to help transmit the acoustic waves effectively.
  3. Therapy Application: A handheld applicator is placed on the gelled area. You will hear clicking sounds and feel tapping or pulsing sensations as the therapeutic shockwaves are delivered into the tissue. Your podiatrist will adjust the intensity to ensure the treatment is effective yet tolerable.
  4. Post-Treatment Guidance: After the short session, you can typically resume light activities. Your podiatrist will provide specific advice regarding activity modification and any necessary follow-up care. Most conditions require a series of treatments (usually scheduled about a week apart) for optimal results.
