What Is Shockwave Therapy?

Shockwave Therapy, also known as Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy treatment (ESWT) is a non-invasive form of treatment that uses energy in the form of sound waves to target and induce healing in areas that suffer from chronic pain.
The process itself is short, lasting around 20 or so minutes in which a small machine delivers sound waves to a target area. The client may experience some mild pain during the treatment, however your response and pain tolerance levels are always taken into consideration, with the settings being adjusted to your preference.
Although the name may sound a little daunting, Shockwave Therapy is non-invasive and has been cleared by The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) as a safe treatment with minimal potential side effects/risk.
The Benefits Of Shockwave Therapy
Proven Method
Shockwave Therapy is a proven, NHS recognised technique that is a versatile alternative to invasive methods
Feel Good Again
ESWT excels at targeting areas of chronic pain that more regular, traditional physiotherapy methods can't quite fix.
Non-Invasive
Surgery, injections and the like aren't the only way to combat long-lasting pain. ESWT can be exactly what you need.
Fast-Healing
Unlike surgical methods, recovery time from ESWT is short so your life and activities won't be disrupted.
Is Shockwave Therapy Right For You?
When it comes to treating injuries and mild pain, traditional physiotherapy methods alone can often do the trick.
However, Shockwave Therapy is the answer for pesky issues that are more chronic and long-lasting in nature, representing an effective alternative to surgery or injections. Some examples of the injuries ESWT can help heal are:
Achilles Tendonitis
Tennis/Golfer's Elbow
Plantar Fasciitis
Runner's Knee
Shin Splints
