Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave Therapy is a treatment usually offered when chronic symptoms have persisted for at least 3-6 months and have not responded to conservative treatments, such as physiotherapy, activity modification, ice therapy.

ESWT is an advanced treatment that uses acoustic shockwaves to break up soft tissue calcifications, enhance collagen synthesis, release growth factors, and stimulate your body’s healing process to improve pain and help you stay active.

This therapy enhances blood circulation and accelerates the healing of stubborn musculoskeletal conditions in bones, tendons, ligaments, and muscle.

Depending on the injury, patients can avoid invasive treatments such as steroid injections or surgery. ESWT requires no incisions or downtime. Most patients see long-term results after six sessions spread over a 12 week period alongside personalised exercise programs. 

Common conditions treated can include:

· Plantar fasciitis

· Patellar tendinopathy

· Achilles tendinopathy

· Hamstring tendinopathy

· Golfers elbow

· Tennis elbow

· Chronic joint pain
