Your care at South London Foot Clinic

Shockwave therapy matched to the tissue we are treating

Our podiatrists use shockwave therapy for selected stubborn tendon and heel pain presentations, choosing radial or focused energy according to the diagnosis, tissue depth, and clinical goal.

What to expect at your appointment

Your appointment includes a diagnosis-first assessment, clear discussion of whether shockwave is appropriate, and a plan that combines treatment with rehabilitation rather than treating shockwave as a stand-alone fix.

Why patients choose our podiatry team

  • Clear explanation of radial versus focused shockwave
  • Suitability checked before any treatment course starts
  • Session planning linked to exercises and load management
  • Aftercare guidance for work, walking, and sport

Who this service helps

Useful for selected cases of plantar heel pain, Achilles tendinopathy, calf or lower-leg overload, and other stubborn soft-tissue pain where recovery has plateaued.

How your assessment works

We review diagnosis, symptoms, previous treatment, and tissue irritability to decide whether shockwave is appropriate and whether radial or focused settings are more suitable.

Your treatment options

Shockwave is delivered to the affected tissue in clinic, often as a short course over multiple sessions, and is usually combined with exercise, loading advice, and other measures.

Recovery and follow-up

We monitor pain response, function, and tolerance between sessions so the treatment plan can be progressed, paused, or changed if needed.
