Shockwave Therapy at
Empire Podiatry
A non-invasive solution for chronic foot and ankle pain—no surgery, no downtime.
Shockwave therapy is a modern, non-surgical treatment that uses acoustic sound waves to stimulate the body’s natural healing response. At Empire Podiatry, we use this technology to target chronic foot and ankle conditions that haven’t responded to other treatments.
By increasing blood flow, breaking down scar tissue, and activating cellular repair, shockwave therapy helps reduce pain and restore mobility—without injections, medication, or surgery.

How Does SHOCKWAVE THERAPY Work?
During treatment, high-energy sound waves are directed at the painful or injured area using a handheld device. These waves penetrate the tissues and stimulate healing by:
-
Improving blood circulation
-
Triggering the body’s natural repair processes
-
Breaking up calcifications and scar tissue
-
Reducing inflammation and pain
-
Each session is quick and typically lasts 10–15 minutes.
RESULTS FROM INGROWN TOENAIL REMOVAL
YOU WILL IMMEDIATELY NOTICE THE CHANGE IN YOUR TOE AFTER YOUR PROCEDURE.
A full toenail removal will take several months up to a year for the toenail to grow back. Ingrown toenail surgery is effective and will prevent recurring pain and infection. However, if you wear a certain kind of shoe or participate in activities that create pressure on your toe, you can get an ingrown toenail again. If you recognize the signs early enough, you should be able to treat them without surgery.
What to Expect
Most sessions take under 20 minutes
You can walk out and resume your day
Sensation varies but is usually well-tolerated
Most patients feel improvement after 3–5 sessions

Conditions Treated with
Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy is especially effective for chronic soft tissue injuries and overuse conditions, including:
Plantar fasciitis
Foot X-rays can reveal signs of arthritis, such as joint damage, bone spurs, and narrowed joint spaces. Patients experiencing joint pain, stiffness, or swelling may have X-rays to evaluate the extent of arthritis and help guide an effective treatment plan.
Shin splints
Foot X-rays can reveal signs of arthritis, such as joint damage, bone spurs, and narrowed joint spaces. Patients experiencing joint pain, stiffness, or swelling may have X-rays to evaluate the extent of arthritis and help guide an effective treatment plan.
Achilles tendonitis
X-rays play a key role in spotting breaks or fractures in the foot and ankle. After an injury or when symptoms like pain, swelling, or visible deformity appear, imaging is typically done to determine how serious the damage is.
Tendon or ligament injuries
Foot X-rays can reveal signs of arthritis, such as joint damage, bone spurs, and narrowed joint spaces. Patients experiencing joint pain, stiffness, or swelling may have X-rays to evaluate the extent of arthritis and help guide an effective treatment plan.
X-rays are used to check how the bones in the foot and ankle line up, which helps identify issues like flat feet, high arches, or other structural problems. For those dealing with deformities or ongoing pain, X-rays provide important information to shape the right treatment plan.
HEEL SPURS
Post-injury scar tissue
Foot X-rays can reveal signs of arthritis, such as joint damage, bone spurs, and narrowed joint spaces. Patients experiencing joint pain, stiffness, or swelling may have X-rays to evaluate the extent of arthritis and help guide an effective treatment plan.
