Shockwave Therapy

Non-invasive treatment to reduce pain and get you moving again

Shockwave therapy is a non-surgical treatment that helps speed up healing, reduce pain, and restore mobility. High-energy acoustic waves are delivered into muscles, tendons, ligaments, and bones, stimulating tissue repair and regeneration.

Widely used in sports medicine and allied health, shockwave therapy is ideal for stubborn injuries that haven’t responded to other treatments.

Conditions Shockwave Therapy Can Help With

  • Tendinopathies (Achilles, patellar, hamstring, gluteal)

  • Plantar fasciitis & heel spurs

  • Calcific tendinitis (shoulder)

  • Tennis or golfer’s elbow

  • Shin splints (MTSS)

  • Hip or groin pain

  • Chronic muscle tightness & trigger points

Why We Use Shockwave Therapy

We incorporate shockwave therapy as part of a comprehensive treatment plan — not as a quick fix. It’s particularly effective for those who have tried rest, stretching, or rehab with limited results, or who want to avoid more invasive procedures.

How It Works

Shockwave therapy helps to:

  • Stimulate tissue healing by increasing blood flow and collagen production

  • Break down scar tissue and calcifications that limit movement and cause pain

  • Reduce pain signals by lowering levels of Substance P

  • Release stubborn trigger points to restore normal muscle tone

These effects work together to promote faster healing, especially for chronic or recurring injuries.

What Does It Feel Like?

Most patients describe a strong tapping or pulsing sensation over the treatment area. Sessions are usually short (5–10 minutes) and well tolerated. Mild soreness may follow, but it typically subsides quickly.
