What it can feel like

Common causes
- Persistent tendon irritation
- Plantar heel pain
- Load sensitivity

How we assess it
Assessment checks whether shockwave is suitable, whether the diagnosis fits, what load needs to change and what rehab should sit alongside treatment.
Treatment options
- Shockwave therapy where clinically appropriate
- Strength and loading programme
- Footwear or orthotic advice if relevant
- Activity modification during treatment
- Progress review and next-step planning
Questions people often ask
Does shockwave therapy work for everyone?
No treatment works for everyone. Shockwave is most useful when the problem, timing and rehab plan are right.
Is shockwave therapy painful?
It can be uncomfortable during treatment, but it should be tolerable. Your clinician will explain what to expect.
