Shockwave therapy uses acoustic waves and is used for certain persistent tendon-related conditions, as part of an overall plan. [VERIFY: confirm this equipment is currently available at the clinic before publishing availability.]
Shockwave therapy delivers acoustic pulses to a targeted area and is typically used for selected chronic tendon or soft-tissue conditions.
It may be considered when certain persistent conditions have not settled with initial care, alongside continued exercise-based rehabilitation.
These are reasons to seek a professional assessment — not a promise that a specific treatment will suit everyone.
A handpiece delivers pulses to the area for a few minutes during a session, usually over a short course. Some people feel brief discomfort during application. It is combined with exercise and load management.
Assessment and suitability check.
Explanation of the modality and sensations.
A short, guided shockwave session.
Continued exercise and review.
Shockwave is avoided in certain situations (for example over some blood-clotting conditions, certain tumours, in pregnancy over the area, or near growth plates in children), and may not suit everyone. Suitability is confirmed at assessment.
Often a short course over several weeks, but this is confirmed after assessment and reviewed as you progress.
You may feel brief discomfort during application; settings can be adjusted for tolerance.
Book an assessment and we’ll talk through your symptoms, goals and suitable options.
