Shockwave Therapy in Wilmington & Inglewood, CA
Shockwave Therapy Near You
Ongoing foot or ankle pain can happen when irritated tissue does not respond well to rest, stretching, footwear changes, or other basic care. At Legacy Foot and Ankle Center, we offer shockwave therapy in Wilmington & Inglewood, CA, to help support healing and manage certain chronic foot and ankle conditions.
Shockwave therapy uses acoustic waves to stimulate the affected area. This treatment may help improve blood flow, support tissue repair, and reduce discomfort in some patients. If you are looking for shockwave therapy near you, our team can evaluate your symptoms and determine whether this option may fit your care plan.
How Shockwave Therapy Helps Healing
Shockwave therapy—sometimes called EPAT or ESWT—uses a handheld device to send acoustic wave pulses through the skin into the targeted tissue. These are not electrical shocks. They are sound or pressure waves used to stimulate the painful or injured area.
This treatment may be used for certain stubborn foot and ankle concerns, such as heel pain, plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendon irritation, or other soft tissue problems. It is often considered when symptoms have lasted for a long time and conservative care has not provided enough relief.
