Shockwave therapy treatment is a non-surgical procedure. It targets damaged tissue and emits impulses of energy to increase the blood flow and stimulate healing and cell regeneration and is ideal for treating chronic pain.



Effective.
Shockwave therapy treatment decreases pain in the treated area by increasing blood flow and stimulating cell regeneration. Shockwaves break down injured tissue and calcifications, which encourages your body to heal, leaving you with less pain. This treatment offers many patients relief from long-term suffering from acute pain.
Shockwave Therapy could be the answer to your pain.
Relentless pain can wear you down, especially when it interrupts your day-to-day. Trying several remedies takes time and often money, and when nothing seems to cure the pain, it can be extremely disheartening.
Shockwave therapy treatment can treat chronic and acute hip, knee, shoulder, elbow, achilles, forearm, shin, back and feet conditions. Plantar Fasciitis is one of the most common conditions we treat using shockwave therapy, with many patients seeing great results in only a few treatments.
Clinical studies have consistently demonstrated the effectiveness of shockwave therapy in reducing pain, promoting tissue regeneration, and enhancing overall functional outcomes. Its success in addressing conditions such as plantar fasciitis, tendinopathies, and calcific shoulder tendinopathy underscores its credibility as a well-established and evidence-based treatment option.
“Shockwave therapy offers two main advantages over traditional methods: fewer potential complications and a faster return to normal activity”

The benefits of Shockwave Therapy
01
Clinically proven treatment
Clinical studies have consistently demonstrated the effectiveness of shockwave therapy in reducing pain, promoting tissue regeneration, and enhancing overall functional outcomes.
02
Individualised Treatment Plans
Sports rehab treatment is tailored to the specific needs and goals of the individual. Our Rehab therapists assess the nature and severity of your injury, consider your personal objectives and create a personalised treatment plan.
03
Safe and largely risk-free
Shockwave therapy stands out as a safe and largely risk-free treatment modality. Its non-invasive nature eliminates the need for incisions or anaesthesia, minimising the associated risks.
04
Quick results
Many individuals experience significant pain reduction and improved functionality after just a few sessions. The accelerated healing response triggered by shockwave therapy often leads to quicker recovery times compared to traditional treatments.
05
A versatile treatment option
Whether treating chronic pain, promoting tissue healing, or enhancing mobility, the flexibility of shockwave treatment positions it as a valuable therapeutic tool capable of addressing an array of conditions with notable success.
06
Fast treatment times
The efficiency of shockwave therapy not only accommodates hectic routines but also contributes to quicker recovery, enabling individuals to resume their daily activities promptly.

Very disappointed in this, then I was asked to book again like come on if people pay a certain price for 1 hour they should get the whole time.
The girl who did sports massage was very good and done areas affected well.
I’ll be honest for the whole 50 mins there was always conversation but I was looking forward to relaxing and found myself talking for the whole time and could not relax.
I had to reply and talk as didn't want to come across rude.
All in all massage was good but could not fully relax and I didn’t like feeling pressured to book again being walked to the counter to book again.
Edit:
Second time attended see Christopher, very professional and helped me with the issue I was suffering with on body.
Will deffo book again with him.
as a postman I walk a lot of miles an never realised how much strain it had put on my body until I’ve been being adjusted since my regular treatments I feel so much better in many ways… energy levels, sleeping, back pain eased dramatically an my general movement is better. Also the staff have been great very helpful and informative a make the whole process easy cannot recommend them enough.
From chiropractor sessions with Dr Brandon to deep tissue massage with Matt, my back has improved 100%.
I am incredibly grateful to all the team at life chiropractic christchurch.
The team are professional, thoughtful and accommodating. I’m glad I stepped through the doors and I would highly recommend the team.
Highly recommend chrisstian
In my experience the whole team are consummate professionals. Each client is thoroughly assessed, a plan constructed and then and only then are treated as an individual with their own unique set of symptoms.
I was treated by Dr Alexander and Sports Massage Therapist Matt. I arrived a few months ago with severe back, knee and neck discomfort. As a direct result of their interventions I am now enjoying life PAIN FREE.
My message to those of you that are suffering with aches and pains to give them a try. A decision you will NOT regret.
They manage my pain levels and are always easy to contact. The App easy easy to use and you efrn earn points to a free treatment.
Finally I tried a chiropractitioner (Life Chiroropractic Clinic Wickford) to help me solve the problem and thanks to Harrison it is working.
Finally I have managed to stop taking lansoprazole, so far for 15 days this time (I was taking Lansoprazole for 26 years and GP was telling me to take higher and higher doses)! If I feel acidic I am drinking a bit of milk, eating dill or taking vitamin A or E with sunflower oil in the capsules.

The Chiropractic staff never rush you even when they are busy. Always answer your questions and fully explain why they have undertaken an adjustment.
First class service and I would recommend the clinic.
Graham Martin.
Had a slipped disc recommend these people any day 👍.Reception staff great as well 👍.
She has helped him with numerous things such as constipation, strength, and skeletal development.
She is very knowledgable and has answered all of my questions surrounding my babies development.
I highly recommend Life Chiropractic, wickford.
The treatments have improved my mobility, digestion and 70% of the pain has gone away. Fully recommend this chiropractor clinic if you are in pain.
The staff at this clinic are extremely helpful, always attentive, knowledgeable and very professional. Thank you for doing an excellent job.
I have been attending the Life Chiropractic at Wickford which was the best decision I’ve made.
I’ve suffered 30 years of back pain which has now virtually gone after a year of treatment.
Life Chiropractic has now started running yoga sessions which I decided to attend from week 1, ably led by Ben who understands the individual needs of the class and keeps the sessions friendly and relaxed.
Since attending yoga I have benefited from being able to breathe and move easier, touch my toes and stand up without pain. The yoga classes go hand in hand with the chiropractic treatment which compliment each other with overall physical and mental wellbeing.
Nicolina Merison.
Thank you for being and doing such an amazing job.

Great staff , my Chiropractor Brandon is very professional and knows his stuff , I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending him to anyone who has back pain , Sciatica ect.
I have been standing for only 4 months from a long bed bound period dew to Sepsis , so my legs hips knees and feet have needed a lot of adjustments, I lost a 4 stone all of which was muscle dew to septic shock !
but I am making good steady progress
Don't put it off , get pain free asap , I wish I had started months ago , but I was told not to be podiatry
Staff ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Chiropractor : Brandon ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Overall experience ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Ami is a talented , thorough, and incredibly knowledgeable. Her professionalism and calm manner help to understand the treatment process and most importantly why, and what the outcome and results are trying to be achieved.
I feel in very good hands and can recommend Wickford Life Chiropractic.
Danni Russo.
The staff are always friendly and accommodating, the adjustments are always professional but more than anything, they have solved the years of back pain I had.
Don't expect to be fixed in one session. They help you over time, be patient, and they will help.
I was bent in half couldn't straighten up, my back and hip had gone into spasms. I was in a lot of pain.
I met Lauren, she assured me she could help me. I've had adjustment, acupuncture which helped me a lot.
Laura has given me massages which have also taken any pain away. I've had suction pads help.
A year on i'm straight. I can walk. Not doubled up in pain.
I am always asked if i'm happy with my progress.
I can always alter my treatment to how I feel, focus is on marking you feel comfortable.
I would recommend Life Chiropractic Clinc.
The staff have been amazing, they are always very professional, whilst been welcoming and friendly, the whole environment makes you feel relaxed. You are always kept well informed about your treatments plan, with the treatments targeted to your needs. You also receive reminders, sent out via text, and app notifications on in advance of your appointments.
I would highly recommend Life Chiropractic Clinic to everyone.
is a highly qualified and professional Dr and I am fully satisfied with his treatment.
Thanks again team and see you all soon.
Matt.
I finally decided to book a new patient assessment with Dr John-Luke earlier this year. His findings were consistent with the headaches and migraines. It was such a relief to finally have an answer and a treatment plan.
Setting up an affordable payment plan was very easy and we were able to get started on treatment straight away! Really appreciate the late night appointments as getting time off work is difficult.
There was a significant improvement of symptoms after the first adjustment. Over the course of a couple of months, the headaches and migraines reduced in duration and severity. I have been pain free for a good few months now!
So grateful for Dr John-Luke, Carly and the whole team at the clinic for giving me back my quality of life. Would highly recommend them to everyone 🙂
Only good experiences to date
My Aunt, who lives in Wickford, was already a client and was full of praise for how much the team know about fibromyalgia and how effective the treatment has been at improving her mobility.
I found the talk very interesting and was impressed by the knowledgeable and friendly staff. The clinic was also well presented.
L at the end of the talk, those presented were given an option of booking an initial consultation, x-rays and first treatment for only £50, which I thought was worth doing, purely for the x-rays alone.
I duly booked and was pleased to learn my spine is in pretty good shape, but I still opted to sign up for a full course of treatment, despite living a 35-40 minute drive away because I want to sort out the minor issues now, whilst I’m still fairly healthy, plus I have ADHD so I pretty much signed up on impulse, even though treatment is very expensive!
🤣
Sessions cost £50 (but comes down to £43 on the treatment plan) and an adjustment is only 10 minutes, so, if you don’t really need it because your spine is actually okay, you might be better off investing in a 30 minute sports / deep tissue massage once or twice a week.
That being said, the knots in my neck / collar bone area are definitely getting looser and I’m more focused on my posture, which helps.
The staff are also brilliant abs they actually listen to you and make you feel heard and validated.
They’ve really helped my parental Aunt, who is quite a bit older than me and does have much more severe symptoms, so I do believe the treatment works and is not just a pseudoscience health treatment. I can feel the difference in my neck and I think, when I move on to the massage sessions (after a number of adjustment sessions, you switch between adjustment one visit and a 30 minute massage the next), I will notice even more improvements as I think that’s what will have the greatest impact on my lower back.
Additionally, my maternal Great Uncle is a client of the Rayleigh clinic and he was also massively helped by them when he had an issue and physio via the NHS wasn’t doing anything.
Once I’ve completed my course of treatment, I think I’ll find a chiropractor nearer to me (I live in Hornchurch), but for now, I’m very happy with the treatment and service.
It’s also good that I’m coming to Wickford every week so I’m going on to visit my maternal Grandmother in Rayleigh, which is a good thing as I didn’t see enough of her before. Funnily enough, I’m trying to convince her to sign up for treatment as well as she has a shoulder issue at present which isn’t getting any better.
FYI. Not only does this clinic specialise in treating patients with fibromyalgia, they also treat babies and those with disabilities and the clinic is accessible for wheelchair users, with reasonable amounts of parking on site, including wider bays marked for disabled users.
It’s also nice and calm in there so ideal for people with sensory issues.
All areas of the clinic are clean and tidy and toilets are a decent size.

5 years ago I was told by my GP I needed hip surgery and the hospital consultant x-rayed me and agreed. I couldnt walk a mile without a lot of pain. I explored alternatives and thanks to some basic treatment and advice on a regime from Dr Alex and Matt I achieved my goal to return to my happy place in the Lakes last week with my boys enjoying a 99% pain free hike. So far so good avoiding surgery!!
All the staff are professional and polite, the app is super useful and my chiropractor Jean-Luke really knows his stuff! I'm already feeling relief from just a few adjustments. Would recommend!
All the staff be it clinical or non clinical are so friendly and helpful, everyone is so invested in your health and wellbeing, not just physical but mentally as well.
Thank you so much everyone, you have made such a difference to my quality of life.
Thank you to all at Life for making my life a bit easier!
It's the one bit of advice I would give to my young self if time travelling was possible.
Absolutely invaluable!
Sami is great and very friendly, always happy and chatty. Always happy to answer any questions you have during treatment.
The receptionist are lovely and kind and always give a warm welcome when you arrive.
Overall a great place! Plus free hot drinks 😁
I cannot even begin to say how wonderful I have found this clinic and all of the staff. Firstly I have been welcomed by the most friendly ladies on reception on every visit. Then for my treatment I have been seen by both Yenei and Ben who have both been absolutely wonderful. They are both friendly and go beyond to ensure that I feel comfortable and that everything is explained to me. The relief from migraines and a shoulder injury has been significant and I am so grateful to of found them both. Would recommend them in a heartbeat.
Thank you.
I’ve also have to mention the very helpful receptionists on hand
-Nellie Bettie. Clair
I’ve had to change a few appointments and they were very helpful and respectful , sometimes cancel at short notice
I can’t thank your team enough for my care
FANTASTIC!
All the staff especially Nelly are so welcoming & helpful. X
The reception staff are professional ,helpful and very friendly, booking is also easy on the life app especially if you have to change appointments or times quickly out of hours .
I began with a thorough consultation with Dr Tom . X-rays were taken ,my lower back issues were explained in detail and a course of treatment began ... Spine alignment,sports massage ,easy stretches and posture advice .
I have suffered with lower back pain for 10 years ..over the last year my pain was keeping me off work and I was bed bound for weeks at a time .. I was prescribed strong pain relief ,but I never had treatment from NHS to find the cause of the problem .. was basically told it's JUST a bad back !!!
I was sceptical prior to treatment .. this was basically my last hope .
My journey has been AMAZING, I no longer have to wear a back support belt ,take medication ,or make excuses not to go out with friends for fear of my back pulling .. last week I was able to go on a zip line and high trekking weekend !!!!!!
My treatment has now been reduced to one session every six weeks ,however ,I can call and book a session or a sports massage if I feel it's required .
I know this is a long review ,but it really has changed all aspects of my life ... Thank you to everyone at Life Chiropractic clinic .. Rayleigh

Due to the location there is always plenty of parking which is a real bonus.
I will continue to visit occasionally to maintain the progress made.
Would definitely recommend Life Chiropractors. Staff so welcoming. Will continue to visit!
The reception staff were extremely welcoming and friendly. I was booked in to see Dr Eyal who ran me through some physical tests and xrayed me.
Once he established that I had a slipped L5 S1 disc he began a treatment me which helped ease the pain immediately I was moving around and back in the gym within months of seeing him. He is very professional and extremely knowledgable regarding the human body.
The clinic over all is very clean, tidy and efficient all the staff are very friendly and welcoming which makes the whole process even better.
I recommend this place to everyone who mentions they have a slight twinge!
Everyone on reception is so friendly and helpful face to face or over the phone.
Lucy is friendly and professional and is working wonders with me during my pregnancy. I could not recommend her enough!
Seth has been brilliant, and has made such a difference my back and neck problems.
ve been happy.
Currently, I’m under the care of Dr Marlie. She is so knowledgeable & has the upmost care. She understands everyone is different.
Everything is explained & I walk away feeling better in body & mind. Fantastic advice given during the appointment also, specific to my needs.
Absolutely worth booking a consultation if you are in pain, some discomfort or simply want a general check over.
The kind reception staff also play a massive part in feeling welcomed & set a good tone for the visit.
I’ve personally recommended Life to friends & family who have also been to Life for very different needs.
Thanks all at Life, Rayleigh. You’re all fab! X
So can't say it enough they are all great here at life chiropractic Rayleigh
Before coming here, I was getting headaches almost every other day. Which, as you can imagine, was very draining and I was very miserable. I’d been to the doctors numerous times, but had no help. I’d tried multiple at home remedies, all sorts of medications and nothing seemed to be helping. Seeing a chiropractor was my last resort.
Since the beginning of my treatment, I have only had 2 headaches (they were both near the beginning) that only lasted a few hours - which is a MASSIVE improvement. Currently haven’t had a headache or any pain for a good few weeks now, this is longest I’ve been without one for years. I’m absolutely over the moon.
Cannot recommend this place enough. Thank you!
Knowledgeable practitioners.
The guys & girls at the Southend branch are so, so helpful. They are all just so easy to talk to.
Best of all, they are all required to be double vaccinated, which enhances the feeling of safety.
Really they are the tops.
All staff are professional and it’s a very friendly environment . Highly recommend .
Conditions treated
Shockwave therapy treatment is successful in treating the following common conditions.

Plantar Fasciitis
Do you suffer from persistent heel pain? Stabbing pain in the heel of your foot, particularly in the mornings or after long periods of standing, could be down to Plantar Fasciitis – one of the most common causes of heel pain. Shockwave Therapy is very effective and successful at treating Plantar Fasciitis.

Achilles Tendonitis
Achilles Tendonitis is a common cause of posterior heel pain in both sedentary and active people. It is often a chronic, frustrating injury which affects active adults aged between 30 and 60 years of age, particularly those who are engaged in regular sporting activities such as running. We see great results from Shockwave Therapy in treating Achilles Tendonitis.

Tennis Elbow
Tennis elbow is a condition that causes pain around the outside of the elbow. It’s clinically known as lateral epicondylitis. It often happens after overuse or repeated action of the muscles of the forearm, near the elbow joint. Despite its name, the most common cause of this condition is people working in offices, using computers for hours every day.

Shoulder Pain
Shockwave Therapy has shown great effectiveness in addressing shoulder pain and shoulder impingement, particularly conditions like calcific shoulder tendinopathy and certain types of chronic shoulder pain.
How does Shockwave Therapy work?
Imagine tiny shockwaves gently penetrating your skin, reaching deep into the affected area. These shockwaves stimulate metabolism, enhance blood circulation, and accelerate the healing process by stimulating the production of collagen, a crucial protein for tissue repair.
Additionally, Shockwave Therapy helps to disrupt pain signals, providing immediate relief and promoting long-term healing. Unlike surgical procedures or medications, Shockwave Therapy offers a non-surgical, drug-free alternative for managing chronic pain.
Is Shockwave right for you?
Whether you’re an athlete looking to recover from a sports injury or someone seeking relief from chronic pain, Shockwave Therapy could be the solution you’ve been searching for.
If you’d like to speak to someone at our clinics to determine if Shockwave Therapy is suitable for your specific condition please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
Don’t let pain hold you back any longer. Embrace the power of Shockwave Therapy and take the first step towards a pain-free, active lifestyle.
“Get the results you’ve been looking for with Shockwave therapy.”
How many treatments will I need?
The number of treatment sessions will vary depending on the type of shockwave used and the condition being treated. Generally, three to six treatment sessions are advised. Your body will progress in the healing process even two to three months after treatment has stopped.
