About the Treatment
What Is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses controlled acoustic pressure waves to stimulate healing in injured or painful tissues.
It is most commonly used for chronic tendon conditions where pain has become persistent and recovery has slowed or stalled. Treatment is delivered during a short clinic appointment and is usually combined with a structured rehabilitation programme.
Shockwave therapy is widely used in physiotherapy, sports medicine, and musculoskeletal care for tendon-related pain and chronic soft tissue injuries.
