How I Choose Shockwave Therapy Settings in Podiatry
About this episode
Don Pelto discusses his approach to shockwave therapy settings in podiatry.
In this episode of Podiatry Practice Mastery, Don breaks down his practical approach to choosing shockwave therapy settings, adjusting treatment intensity, and building confidence with both radial and non-radial shockwave devices. He covers pulse counts, frequency, treatment areas, patient tolerance, and why more intensity does not necessarily mean a better treatment. You’ll also hear how Don structures a six-session shockwave protocol, what he expects patients to feel during treatment, when he uses touch-up sessions, and how shockwave fits alongside orthotics, stretching, soft-tissue work, and physical therapy. If you’re a podiatrist who is new to shockwave or unsure how to adjust your settings, this episode provides a simple framework for thinking through your treatment.
