Podiatric Acupuncture
Report
Podiatric Acupuncture is the use of acupuncture as a therapeutic tool, by podiatrists, to treat problems of the lower limbs. Fine acupuncture needles are placed into specific areas known as acupoints or into trigger points. The needles are believed to have an effect on the nervous system and stimulate the release of natural painkillers (endorphins) which help relieves the discomfort associated with painful conditions.
Foot Mobilisation Therapy
Report
Foot mobilisation therapy is a form of manual therapy incorporating chiropractic, osteopathic and physiotherapy techniques which involves the application of low grade force to a joint of the foot or ankle to increase the range of motion. It works by reducing the stiffness of the joint which is caused by an increase in the collagen cross fibril linkages.
Shockwave Therapy
Report
Shockwave Therapy @ The Shand Practice Aberdeen for plantar fasciitis or Achilles tendinopathy. ECSWT is a procedure where shockwaves are passed through the skin to the injured part of the foot using a special device. Extracorporeal means outside of the body.
The shockwaves are mechanical and not electrical; they are audible, low energy sound waves which work by increasing blood flow to the injured area and altering the nerves which supply the painful site.This accelerates the body's healing process and results in a reduction/elimination of pain. You will usually require a course of 3-5 treatments, one week apart.
