At Elite Foot and Ankle in the Portland Metropolitan Area, we offer advanced shockwave therapy to help patients overcome chronic foot and ankle pain. This non-invasive treatment stimulates your body’s natural healing processes for various podiatric conditions. Our goal is to provide effective, long-lasting relief, helping you return to your active lifestyle.
Radial Pulse shockwave therapy (RSWT) utilizes ballistic sound waves to create microtrauma, initiating the body’s natural healing response. This process increases blood circulation and regenerates damaged tissues within the foot and ankle. It is an FDA-cleared technology designed to treat soft tissue tendinopathies and other chronic conditions.
Before starting, your provider will conduct a thorough assessment of your condition. This ensures shockwave therapy is appropriate for your specific needs and helps tailor the treatment plan. You will discuss your symptoms and medical history.
During a session, a specialized applicator will be moved in a circular motion over the affected area. The treatment lasts approximately 5 minutes, and you may experience minor discomfort, which can help identify the injured areas. No anesthesia is required for this non-invasive procedure.
Shockwave therapy is typically administered once a week, over a series of four to five treatments. This consistent schedule optimizes the healing process and contributes to the overall effectiveness of the therapy. Your provider will determine the exact number of sessions needed.
Patients can resume normal activities immediately after each session. Some individuals may experience slight soreness or bruising in the treated area for a day or two, similar to post-workout muscle discomfort. This is a normal part of the healing process.
Shockwave therapy offers a non-invasive path to pain relief and accelerated healing. It promotes natural tissue regeneration without the need for incisions or anesthesia. Many patients experience significant improvement, allowing for a quicker return to daily activities and sports.
MLS Laser Therapy for pain and inflammation.

In the Portland Metropolitan Area, shockwave therapy treatment packages typically range from $1,500-$2,500. This pricing can vary based on the specific condition, number of sessions, and any additional bundled services. Please note that insurance plans generally do not cover shockwave therapy.
