WHAT IS SHOCKWAVE THERAPY?
SHOCKWAVE THERAPY EXPLAINED
Shockwave Therapy is a non-surgical device used to provide fast pain relief and mobility restoration through the application of high energy acoustic pressure wave to tissue with subacute or chronic conditions.
These pressure waves interact with tissue and cause accelerated tissue repair, cell growth and pain relief.
- Stimulates repair and regeneration
- Accelerates healing
- Effects long-term repair
- Provides early pain relief
Shockwave Therapy may be right for you if you suffer from:
- Plantar Fasciitis (pain under the feet/heel)
- Tennis or Golfer’s Elbow
- Rotator cuff injuries
- Achilles tendonopathy
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
- Patellar tendonopathy
- Shin pain

Shockwave Therapy is a non-invasive alternative to surgery. Treatments are safe, simple, quick and easy
- Reversal of chronic inflammation
- Formation of new blood vessels
- Stimulation of collagen production
- Break-down of calcification
- Dispersement of pain-mediating neurochemicals
- Release of painful trigger points/knots
How many treatments are needed?
The number of treatments varies depending on the indication and tissue response. The effect of the treatment is cumulative, so you will typically need more than one treatment. Very often though, you will experience relief right after the first treatment.
Most indications require 3–5 treatments which are done 3–10 days apart, depending on the patient’s tolerance and their tissue response.
