What Is Radial Shockwave Therapy?

If you are suffering with foot, heel, or ankle pain, your solution is here. Alpine Foot Specialists offers Radial Shockwave Therapy. This innovative treatment delivers targeted acoustic waves to stimulate your body’s natural healing process in damaged tendons, fascia, and other soft tissues around the foot and ankle. With RSWT, the waves increase blood flow, reduce inflammation, and trigger tissue regeneration, accelerating healing without the need for surgery.

What Conditions Does RSWT Treat?

Radial Shockwave Therapy is ideal for chronic tendinopathy, plantar fasciitis, heel pain, and other foot or ankle conditions that have failed to respond to traditional treatments. By addressing the root cause of pain and encouraging repair of damaged tissue, RSWT offers long-lasting relief and improved foot function.

Treatment Schedule & What to Expect

  • Each RSWT session lasts approximately 5 to 15 minutes.

  • A typical course involves once-weekly sessions for about 4 to 5 weeks.

  • There is no downtime — most patients resume daily activities the same day of treatment.

  • Some patients may experience mild soreness or temporary discomfort immediately after a session. This generally resolves quickly.

Many patients begin to notice decreased pain and improved mobility after just a few sessions, with progressive improvement over the full course of treatment.
