What is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave Therapy (SWT) is a cutting-edge treatment that uses high-energy sound waves to target injured areas within your body. These waves stimulate your body’s natural healing processes, improving blood flow, reducing pain, and promoting tissue repair.
How Does It Work?
Non-invasive: No needles, no surgery, no medication required.
Precision Treatment: Sound waves are directed to the painful area, reaching up to 4 cm deep.
Fast and Effective: Each session typically delivers around 2,000 shockwaves, triggering healing at a cellular level.
How Shockwave Therapy Heals
Shockwave Therapy promotes healing by:
Stimulating blood flow and tissue regeneration
Reducing inflammation
Blocking pain signals (by hyper-stimulating nerve fibers)
Activating natural pain-relief chemicals in your body

Frequently Asked Questions
Occasional side-effects are bruising and slight swelling.
The recommended treatment plan generally involves 3-4 visits, spaced one week apart. Your treatment plan will vary depending on variables like your injury history and the pressure level you tolerate during treatment.
Everyone presents with a different level of pain, injury and biology, hence everyone responds differently. Often pain reduction may be experienced immediately or not until your 3rd visit and the injured area will continue to heal and reduce in pain for up to 3 months.
SWT may be a stand-alone treatment or a part of a management plan. The shock wave therapy alone will heal many injuries, however, we recommend booking in for a biomechanical assessment or athlete screening to allow the podiatrist time to determine the cause of the injury, and develop an individualised plan to help prevent the injury from returning. Recommendations on other therapies will be advised, where required, for best outcomes.
Any kind of anaesthesia or pain killers are not advised as they will reduce the positive outcomes of treatment.
The podiatrist will introduce the treatment gently and gradually increase the intensity of the pressure. It can be painful, and we encourage the patient to tolerate a “painful” level, but not an “intolerable” level of pain. The majority of patients can manage, especially as the level of pain is determined by the patient.
Up to 13% of people are non-responders (have an unsuccessful outcome) to this type of treatment. Central Podiatry uses the gold standard machine, and follows a top protocol to reduce the risk of not responding to treatment. A person’s biological make-up is the main reason for not responding, hence this is not something that can be determined until after a course of treatments have been administered. We cannot offer any compensation in a case of no-response to treatment but may be-able to assist in other management/treatment options.
Shock Wave Therapy varies in cost depending on the treatment you receive. You can expect to pay between $80.00 & $140.00 per treatment. Your visit may involve other management therapies such as exercises, strapping or orthoses.
