Shockwave Therapy

Chronic Heel Pain That Won’t Go Away?

If heel pain is affecting your mornings, limiting your exercise, or making daily walking uncomfortable — and rest, stretching, or orthotics haven’t solved it — Shockwave Therapy may be the breakthrough you need.

At Gentle Podiatry, we provide Swiss DolorClast® Radial Shockwave Therapy — a clinically proven, non-invasive treatment for:

  • Chronic plantar fasciitis (plantar fasciopathy)
  • Heel spurs
  • Achilles tendinopathy
  • Persistent tendon pain

This evidence-based treatment stimulates your body’s natural healing response to help resolve long-standing pain.

Is Shockwave Therapy Right for You?

This treatment may be ideal if:

✔ Your heel pain has lasted longer than 3 months
✔ Pain is worse first thing in the morning
✔ You experience Achilles stiffness or tendon pain
✔ Previous treatments haven’t provided lasting relief
✔ You want to avoid injections or surgery

The longer heel pain persists, the harder it becomes to treat. Early targeted treatment leads to better outcomes.

How Shockwave Therapy Works

DolorClast® delivers radial shockwaves into damaged tissue to:

  • Stimulate tissue repair
  • Improve blood flow
  • Reduce chronic inflammation
  • Promote long-term pain relief

Treatment is generally well tolerated. Mild discomfort may be felt during the session but is brief and manageable.


Treatment Plan

  • Typically 3–5 sessions
  • 1–2 sessions per week
  • Minimum 72 hours between sessions
  • Each session lasts approximately 20 minutes

Most patients experience progressive improvement throughout the course of treatment.
