Pre-Conference Whiteley All Care Workshop - Shockwave Therapy

Biomechanical intervention and rehabilitation exercises are foundational to the podiatric approach to chronic injuries. While this approach is essential, combining these interventions with Shockwave Therapy can treat pain and promote healing safely and non-invasively.

Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) is backed by several systematic reviews with numerous double-blind, randomised studies demonstrating the effectiveness of shockwave therapy for plantar heel pain and lower limb tendinopathies.

In this exclusive PodiatryNZ hands-on workshop, listen to George Murley and experience practically how Shockwave Therapy can optimise your patient outcomes to deliver the best possible results for your patients.

Shockwave therapy works by delivering high-energy sound waves to the affected area. These sound waves stimulate the body's natural healing processes, which can lead to improved patient outcomes. The mechanical force of the sound waves can increase blood flow to the area, promoting the growth of new blood vessels and the formation of new tissue. Additionally, sound waves can stimulate the release of growth factors and other beneficial chemicals that can help reduce inflammation and pain without surgery, drugs, or injections.

What will you learn?

• Describe the concept of DolorClast® Shockwave Therapy and how it incorporates into your practice as an adjunct therapy
• Patient selection – when to use Shockwave Therapy
• Anticipate clinical benefits and patient perception of modifying the familiar podiatric appointment
• Improve treatment success rate and identify how to maximise clinical results with evidence-based innovation

Get hands-on experience! In the workshop, you'll get to trial Shockwave Therapy on each other to feel the ‘wow factor’ of Shockwave Therapy. This technology can revolutionise how you treat lower tendinopathies & plantar heel pain.
