Shockwave Therapy in Kettering.
Finally Take the First Step Towards Living Without Pain
About Shockwave Therapy.
If you’ve already tried stretching, insoles, rest, physiotherapy or pain relief without lasting success, it may be time for a different approach.
At Next Step Podiatry, we use the Swiss DolorClast® Master, one of the world’s leading Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) systems, to stimulate your body’s natural healing response and help you return to the activities you love.
Unlike many providers, we don’t simply deliver Shockwave Therapy. Every patient receives a comprehensive musculoskeletal assessment, an accurate diagnosis and a personalised treatment plan designed to address the underlying cause of their pain—not just the symptoms.
Why Choose Next Step Podiatry?
Choosing the right clinic is just as important as choosing the right treatment.
At Next Step Podiatry we combine advanced technology with specialist clinical expertise to deliver exceptional care from your very first appointment.
Specialist Musculoskeletal Assessment
Every patient begins with a detailed clinical assessment to understand the true cause of their symptoms before treatment is recommended.
Swiss DolorClast® Master Technology
We have invested in the internationally recognised Swiss DolorClast® Master, regarded as one of the gold standards in Shockwave Therapy technology.
Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy ESWT is a clinically proven treatment that uses controlled acoustic pressure waves to stimulate the body’s natural healing response.
The treatment encourages increased blood flow, promotes collagen production and supports the repair of damaged tendon and soft tissue.
Unlike injections, Shockwave Therapy works by activating your body’s own healing mechanisms rather than simply masking pain.
Treatment typically lasts between five and ten minutes with little disruption to your daily routine.
Personalised Rehabilitation
Shockwave Therapy works best when combined with expert rehabilitation advice. Your treatment plan is tailored specifically to your condition, goals and lifestyle.
Evidence-Based Care
Our recommendations are based on current clinical evidence and best practice, ensuring you receive treatment that is appropriate for your diagnosis.
