SHOCKWAVE THERAPY

What is Shockwave Therapy?

Shockwave Therapy is a non-invasive treatment designed to accelerate healing in musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions. Utilising acoustic sound waves, it stimulates blood flow, reduces pain, and promotes tissue regeneration, making it an effective option for chronic pain and stubborn injuries.

 

Conditions Treated with Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave Therapy is highly effective for:

• Plantar fasciitis

• Achilles tendinopathy

• Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis)

• Patellar tendinopathy (jumper’s knee)

• Shoulder tendinopathy

• Hip pain

• Shin splints

 

How Does Shockwave Therapy Work?

Shockwaves are directed to the affected area, triggering a biological response that promotes tissue repair and reduces inflammation. Sessions are quick, typically lasting 10-15 minutes, with minimal discomfort and no downtime, allowing patients to resume daily activities promptly.

 

Benefits of Shockwave Therapy:

• Non-surgical and drug-free

• Stimulates natural healing

• Reduces pain and inflammation

• Enhances mobility and function

 

What to Expect During Treatment

Your physiotherapist will assess your condition to determine suitability. Treatment involves applying a gel to the skin and using a handheld device to deliver shockwaves to the affected area. Most patients experience noticeable improvement after 3-5 sessions.
