Who Offers Shockwave Therapy in Orange, CA?

During the initial shockwave therapy consultation, Dr. Charles Baik, DPM, reviews your symptoms, medical history, activity level, and any previous care you have received. He examines the affected foot or ankle to identify tenderness, mobility limitations, and other factors that may be contributing to your discomfort.

The consultation may include:

• A review of when your symptoms began
• Discussion of activities that worsen or relieve discomfort
• Evaluation of tenderness, swelling, and range of motion
• Review of previous treatments or diagnostic tests
• Additional testing when needed to clarify the diagnosis
• An explanation of how shockwave therapy works
• Discussion of what you may feel during treatment
• An estimated number of sessions based on your needs

At Renew Podiatry, we answer your questions and determine whether shockwave therapy is an appropriate option for supporting tissue recovery, comfort, mobility, and improved foot or ankle function.

Shockwave therapy sessions are commonly scheduled once a week, allowing the treated tissue time to respond between visits. A typical treatment plan may include three to six sessions, although some persistent or more advanced concerns may require additional appointments. The exact frequency depends on the condition being addressed, symptom severity, treatment tolerance, and progress over time.

At Renew Podiatry, we personalize the treatment schedule based on each individual’s foot or ankle concern and response to therapy. He monitors progress throughout the treatment series and may adjust the number or spacing of sessions to support comfort, mobility, and tissue recovery.

During a shockwave therapy session, the affected area is identified and prepared before targeted acoustic waves are delivered to the tissue. The procedure is non-invasive and does not involve incisions or injections. You may feel tapping, pulsing, pressure, or mild discomfort as the intensity is adjusted to your tolerance.

You can generally expect:

• A brief review of your symptoms and progress
• Positioning the foot or ankle for easy access
• Application of gel to the treatment area
• Placement of a handheld shockwave device against the skin
• Targeted acoustic pulses delivered to the affected tissue
• Adjustment of the intensity based on your comfort
• Mild tapping, pressure, or temporary discomfort
• A relatively brief treatment session
• Guidance about activity and care following the procedure

At Renew Podiatry, we tailor every shockwave therapy session to the specific area of concern, your level of comfort, and how you have responded to earlier treatments. We closely evaluate the treated region and offer personalized guidance to promote healing, enhance mobility, and maintain healthy foot and ankle function.
