Description
Shockwave Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses targeted acoustic waves to stimulate your body’s natural healing response. It’s commonly used to treat chronic musculoskeletal conditions, especially those involving tendons and connective tissue.
This therapy is ideal for stubborn injuries that haven’t responded to traditional treatments, including:
-
Plantar fasciitis
-
Achilles tendinopathy
-
Tennis or golfer’s elbow
-
Shoulder calcific tendinitis
-
Patellar (knee) tendinopathy
-
Shin splints
-
Chronic muscle tightness or trigger points
During the session, a handheld device delivers focused pulses to the affected area, helping break down scar tissue, increase blood flow, and accelerate tissue repair. Most patients experience reduced pain and improved mobility over a series of treatments.
Note: Shockwave Therapy is typically used when clinically appropriate alongside physiotherapy or chiropractic treatment for best results. Your practitioner will advise whether it’s suitable for your condition.
