Shockwave Therapy

Non-invasive pain relief for chronic, stubborn foot and leg conditions like plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis and more.

If you’ve been dealing with long-standing heel, foot, or leg pain that just won’t go away, shockwave therapy may be the solution. At Stride Footcare, we use this advanced, evidence-based treatment to target chronic soft tissue injuries and stimulate your body’s natural healing response—without the need for injections or surgery.

What Is Shockwave Therapy?

Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses acoustic sound waves to stimulate healing in damaged tissues. It increases blood flow, reduces inflammation, and helps break down scar tissue—so your body can heal itself, naturally. This treatment is safe, fast, and backed by strong clinical evidence

Shockwave is especially effective for chronic or stubborn conditions like

  • Plantar fasciitis

  • Arthritic Joints

  • Achilles tendinopathy

  • Heel spurs

  • Shin splints

  • Peroneal tendon pain

  • Other chronic soft tissue injuries

If you’ve tried other treatments with little success, shockwave may be your next step toward long-term relief.
