Relief That Goes Beyond Temporary Fixes.
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive, evidence-based treatment designed to stimulate your body’s natural healing process. Using targeted acoustic waves, this therapy helps reduce pain, improve mobility, and accelerate recovery—without surgery or downtime.
Shockwave therapy (also known as Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy or ESWT) uses high-energy acoustic waves delivered to injured or painful areas of the body. These waves increase blood flow, stimulate cellular repair, and break down scar tissue and calcifications that may be limiting healing.
What’s it for?
Shockwave therapy is commonly used for chronic and hard-to-treat conditions, including:
- Plantar fasciitis (causes heel pain)
- Achilles tendinopathy (causes pain above the heel)
- Tennis or golfer’s elbow
- Shoulder pain and calcific tendinitis
- Knee pain and patellar tendinitis (Runners Knee)
- Hip pain
- Chronic muscle tightness and trigger points
If you’ve tried rest, physical therapy, or injections with limited success, shockwave therapy may be the next step.
How does it work?
Shockwave therapy works by:
- Increasing circulation to injured tissue
- Stimulating collagen production
- Activating the body’s natural healing response
- Breaking down scar tissue and calcifications
- Reducing pain by desensitizing nerve endings
Unlike treatments that only mask symptoms, shockwave therapy addresses the underlying cause of pain.
Does it hurt?
Most patients describe it as uncomfortable but tolerable. Intensity can be adjusted to your comfort level.
- No anaesthesia or injections required
- Mild to moderate discomfort during treatment (well tolerated by most patients)
- Sessions last 5–10 minutes per area
- No downtime—you can return to normal activities the same day
Most patients notice improvement after 3–5 sessions, depending on the condition and severity.
Is Shockwave Therapy Right for Me?
Shockwave therapy is ideal for patients with chronic pain or injuries that haven’t responded to traditional care.
A consultation is required to determine if this treatment is appropriate for your condition.
It may not be recommended if you are pregnant, have a bleeding disorder, or have a tumour or infection at the treatment site.
