ESWT Shockwave Therapy
Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) is a non-invasive treatment where a hand-held device is applied to painful areas and promoting the body to heal itself.
“Shockwave therapy offers two main advantages over traditional methods: fewer potential complications and a faster return to normal activity” (FDA).
What are Shockwaves?
Shockwaves are high-energy sound waves which are transmitted to the affected area to accelerate healing.
The treatment increases blood flow, decreases localised pain and stimulates cell regeneration – this encourages the body to heal itself. Shockwaves also break down injured tissue and calcifications.
What can Shockwave therapy help treat?
Shockwave therapy can treat both chronic and acute conditions in the hips, knees, shoulders, elbows, achilles, forearms, shins, back and feet.
- Plantar Fasciitis (Heel Pain)
- Achilles Tendonitis
- Tennis Elbow & Golfers Elbow (Epicondylitis)
- Bicep Tendonitis
- Jumpers Knee (Patellar Tendonitis)
- Shin Splints (Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome)
- Periarticular Shoulder Pain

Shockwave Treatment FAQ’s
How successful is the treatment?
Statistics vary based on the conditions being treated – varying from 60-90% success rate. Studies have shown Achilles Tendonitis (heel pain) will experience a full recovery or significant reduction in their pain and injury.
Is Shockwave therapy painful?
During treatment you may experience some discomfort but the pain should be tolerable. Due to the analgesic effect of Shockwave Therapy many patients report immediate pain relief following treatment.
How many sessions are needed?
The amount of treatment sessions will vary depending on the type of shockwave used and conditions being treated. As a general rule 3-6 treatment sessions are advised. Your body will progress in the healing process even 2-3 months after treatment has stopped.
Can Shockwave treat old & persistent injuries?
Shockwaves can treat both long-term chronic conditions and newer injuries, there is a great deal of evidence to show that Shockwave Therapy can achieve great results even with historical conditions.
