Shockwave Therapy

Put an end to chronic pain and speed up your recovery.

Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) or simply Shockwave Therapy has been widely embraced as an innovative treatment for soft tissue and tendon related injuries. Over many years, this technology has been developed to aid in the recovery of long term muscle and tendon injuries. Often these types of injuries would only be managed for the symptoms and would lead to surgery in many cases.

Alas, shockwave therapy emerged and it is the ideal alternative to unwanted invasive surgery. If you suffer from any long term muscle or tendon injury (see list below), give shockwave therapy a try as it has proven effective for many of our patients

How Shockwave works ?

SWT works by delivery high-frequency acoustic or ‘shock’ waves to the injured tendon or muscle which increases blood flow to the injured area. This stimulates healing, giving you effective pain relief. Shockwave Therapy at My Sports Chiropractor is an excellent treatment for chronic tendon conditions that have not responded to other forms of treatment.

Fast pain relief and improved mobility without the need for painkillers.

It’s safe and a proven alternative to invasive surgery.

Speeds up recovery for acute (short term) and chronic (long term) pain.

Shockwave Therapy for Plantar Fasciitis

If you’ve been dealing with plantar fasciitis that just won’t quit despite trying stretches, rest, and other treatments, consider shockwave therapy to end the chronic pain and restore mobility. Our Chiropractic clinic uses this non-invasive approach to interrupt pain, stimulate tissue repair, and get you moving with confidence again. Sessions are quick and paired with practical guidance, perfect for active professionals, sports enthusiasts, and parents across Sydney and beyond.

Here’s why shockwave therapy works so effectively for plantar fasciitis:

Targets the root cause: High-energy sound waves break down scar tissue and calcification that keeps your plantar fascia inflamed and painful
Accelerates natural healing: Stimulates blood flow and cellular regeneration in the damaged tissue, helping your body repair itself faster
Reduces pain signals: Calms overactive nerve endings that keep sending those sharp pain messages to your brain
Minimal downtime: Walk straight out after treatment and return to your regular activities the same day

You’ll work with our qualified team who treat the cause of your injury and provide preventive measures. They bring a friendly, clinical approach to assessment, explaining what’s driving your pain and how each treatment step fits your recovery. Most improvements are experienced within 4-6 sessions over 4-5 weeks.

What does Shockwave treatment involve ?

At your first visit, you will be assessed by our chiropractor to confirm that you are an appropriate candidate for shockwave therapy. For optimal results, typically 3-5 treatments are required, spaced one week apart.

Side effects are limited however you may experience some soreness and mild discomfort in the treated area. These side effects are often tolerable and short term. We recommend avoiding high impact exercise for 48 hours following your treatment.
