ShockWave therapy : therapeutic benefits and treatment - PiedRéseau Thetford
At PiedRéseau Thetford, we offer ShockWave therapy as part of our comprehensive sports podiatry services. Initially developed for breaking up kidney stones, this innovative therapeutic technology has been adapted to treat various musculoskeletal injuries in the foot. By utilizing acoustic waves, ShockWave therapy delivers high-speed shocks to the affected areas, promoting healing and recovery from conditions such as plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis, and heel spur. This non-invasive treatment stimulates the body’s natural healing processes, improving blood flow, reducing pain, and enhancing mobility.
The team at PiedRéseau Thetford is led by Dr. Audrey Lessard, a qualified podiatrist with a degree from the University of Quebec at Trois-Rivières. Since founding the clinic in 2011, Dr. Lessard has been dedicated to providing personalized podiatric care. She specializes in ultrasound-guided injections and minor surgeries, ensuring that each patient receives effective treatment tailored to their needs. Dr. Lessard is supported by a skilled assistant, together delivering comprehensive evaluations and treatments to enhance foot health and overall well-being.
