Shockwave and Laser TherapyIn the course of treating acute or chronic pain/injury, many modern technologies have been developed to aid the modern podiatrist. Here at the Foot + Ankle Clinic we have invested significantly to ensure the most effective modern technologies are available to you in treating your foot conditions.
Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) is a modified version of the Lithotripsy machine used to treat kidneys stones, redesigned for use most effectively in the treatment of chronic or calcific tendon/fascia pathologies. It has strong evidence for use particular in the treatment of plantar fasciopathy. It is best applied as a weekly treatment over a number of weeks, backed my modern research.

Multiwave Locked System (MLS) laser therapy is a proprietary laser machine imparting two different frequency laser energies to most effectively reduce inflammation, reduce oedema/swelling, and promote biostimulation and healing at a cellular level. There are minimal risks with this treatment, and a great range of conditions it treats effectively. Again, most effective as a 2x weekly treatment over a course of time depending on the reason for treatment. To learn more about this treatment and see if it could be right for you, click here.
