Quick, Safe, Lasting Relief

If you are experiencing chronic muscle or joint pain, shockwave therapy can provide fast and lasting relief. Also known as extracorporeal shockwave therapy or ESWT, this noninvasive treatment is used in orthopaedics, physiotherapy and sports medicine to accelerate recovery and reduce pain.

Shockwave therapy uses sound waves to deliver energy to painful or damaged areas, enhancing blood circulation, stimulating tissue regeneration and supporting the repair of bones and soft tissues. Many patients notice less pain and improved mobility after just one treatment. There is no need for anaesthesia or medication and side effects are minimal, making it a safe and effective option for ongoing pain.

Shockwave therapy is especially useful for conditions such as

Shoulder pain including tendinitis and impingement
Chronic muscular and tendon disorders
Stubborn knots and scar tissue
Tennis and golfer's elbow
Hamstring pain
Jumper's knee
Groin and hip pain
Back and neck pain
Achilles tendon pain and heel spurs
Plantar fasciitis and Morton's neuroma

Why Go For
Shockwave Therapy?

Eliminates pain

Shockwave helps release painful trigger points, leading to a significant decrease in muscle tension and muscle spasms. Trigger points are extremely sensitive areas of tight, contracted muscle fibres that are a principal cause of pain in the back, neck, shoulder and limbs. They’re typically caused by injury, overuse or repetitive straining.

Reverses chronic inflammation and promotes healing

Inflammation plays an essential role in healing and injury repair. Too much inflammation can damage healthy tissue and cause chronic pain. Chronic inflammation occurs when the inflammatory response is not completely halted. Shockwave therapy accelerates the removal of histamine, lactic acid and other irritating agents. It increases oxygenation and the production of collagen — a protein responsible for the repair of damaged tissue and maintaining healthy joints in your body.

Restores mobility

Calcification causes painful swelling around joints. Calcium build-up is most often a result of micro-tears or other trauma to a tendon. Shockwave therapy’s acoustic waves can break up calcification into granular particles of calcium that are then removed by your lymphatic system. The decalcification greatly reduces inflammation while promoting healing in the joint. As the injured area is returned to normal, mobility and functionality is restored, and your pain is relieved.

Shockwave Therapy FAQs

What can I expect during treatment?

Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment. The therapy works by using bursts of sound waves to break up scar tissue, knots and adhesions (scar tissue and knots within muscle fascia) and increase blood flow to the injured area. Most patients say it feels like small pulses against the skin. This helps to reduce inflammation, relieve the pain and stimulate the body's own healing processes. Patients experience no down time.
