Service overview
Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy acoustic waves to stimulate healing in injured or damaged musculoskeletal tissue. It is particularly effective for chronic conditions that haven’t responded to conventional therapies.
The therapy promotes blood flow, accelerates tissue repair, and stimulates collagen production, helping tendons, ligaments, and muscles recover more quickly. It can also reduce pain by desensitising nerve endings and breaking down calcified deposits.
Suitable for conditions such as tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, and rotator cuff injuries, Shockwave Therapy provides a safe, non-surgical option to speed recovery, improve mobility, and return to daily activities or sport.
Shockwave Therapy is commonly employed to treat:
Achilles tendinopathy
Plantar fasciitis
Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis)
Rotator cuff tendinopathy
Patellar tendinopathy (jumper’s knee)
Hip bursitis
Shin splints (medial tibial stress syndrome)
Calcific shoulder tendinopathy
Non-Invasive Treatment
A safe, non-surgical option for chronic musculoskeletal conditions.
Pain Relief
Targeting nerve endings and breaking down calcified deposits.
Promotes Healing
Stimulates blood flow and tissue repair to speed recovery.
What to expect?
Initial Consultation
Your physiotherapist will assess your condition, review your medical history, and discuss your symptoms and goals. This helps determine if Shockwave Therapy is the right treatment for you.
Treatment Sessions
During each session, high-energy acoustic waves are applied to the affected area. The treatment typically lasts around 15 minutes, and most patients require 3–5 sessions for optimal results.
Aftercare & Follow-Up
After treatment, your physiotherapist will provide guidance on exercises, activity modifications, and self-care to support recovery. Progress will be monitored, and your treatment plan adjusted as needed to ensure continued improvement and pain relief.
Treatments available
Shockwave Therapy involves delivering high-energy acoustic waves to the affected area. These waves:
Increase blood circulation, promoting healing.
Stimulate collagen production, aiding tissue repair.
Break down calcified tissue, facilitating the healing of chronic injuries.
Reduce pain by desensitizing nerve endings.
The treatment is typically administered in short sessions, with each lasting about 15 minutes. Most patients experience significant improvement after 3 to 5 sessions.
