Shockwave Therapy

What is Shockwave Therapy?

 

Living with chronic pain can have a huge effect on your day to day life, sporting activities or getting through your working day. Your first stop is traditional therapies but sometimes they fall short in successfully treating your condition. Shockwave therapy is a non-surgical treatment that uses audible sound waves that target specific damaged tissues. It is clinically proven to reduce pain, increase blood flow and kick start the body's self-healing mechanism.

 

Shockwave Therapy is NICE approved.

  • Greater Trochanteric Pain (Hip Pain)

  • Back Pain

  • Rotator Cuff Tendinopathies (Shoulder Pain)

  • Tennis and Golfers Elbow         

During treatments you may initially feel slight discomfort but you will very quickly get use to this as shockwave therapy also produces an analgesic effect. Statistics show that over 90% of patients experience a reduction in pain and most soft tissue injuries continue to improve up to 8 weeks after finishing a course of shockwave therapy treatments. 

​

After a treatment, the patient should not do any strenuous exercise for 48 hours.
