Fast, Effective Relief for Stubborn Pain & Injuries
Shockwave therapy, also known as extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT), is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate healing in injured tissues.
It is commonly used to treat conditions such as tennis elbow, plantar fasciitis, shoulder impingement, calcific shoulder tendinopathy, and other musculoskeletal disorders. Essentially any tendon issue that is being particularly stubborn will generally respond very well to this.
The shockwaves are directed to the affected area, promoting blood flow, reducing pain, and encouraging tissue regeneration. Shockwave therapy is often considered when other conservative treatments, like physical therapy or medication, have not provided sufficient relief.
Shockwave is used in conjunction with other care such as hands on therapy and rehabilitation to reach a full resolution of your symptoms.
Patients choose shockwave therapy because it offers:
While some patients experience mild discomfort during treatment, sessions are short and the long-term benefits far outweigh any temporary soreness.
Important note: Anti-inflammatory medications should not be taken alongside shockwave therapy, as the treatment works by triggering your body’s natural healing response.

Most patients require between 3–6 sessions, depending on the condition and severity. Your practitioner will recommend a tailored plan during your consultation.
A typical treatment takes around 15–20 minutes, with no downtime afterwards.
Side effects are rare, but you may experience mild redness, soreness, or swelling in the treated area, which usually resolves within 48 hours.
Some patients notice improvement after the first session, but most experience significant results after 3–4 treatments.
