Radial Shockwave Therapy

Struggling with a persistent injury that won't settle? Radial Shockwave Therapy is a highly effective, evidence-based treatment designed to kickstart healing and reduce pain — especially when symptoms have become long-standing or resistant to other treatments.

How does it work?

Shockwave therapy works by:

• Increasing blood flow to the affected area
• Stimulating tissue repair and regeneration
• Breaking down scar tissue and calcifications
• Reducing pain by desensitising nerve endings

The result? Faster healing, reduced pain, and improved function.

What conditions can it treat?

Shockwave therapy is particularly effective for chronic tendon and soft tissue conditions, including:

• Plantar fasciitis
• Achilles tendinopathy
• Patellar tendinopathy (jumper's knee)
• Tennis elbow (lateral elbow pain)
• Golfer's elbow
• Rotator cuff-related shoulder pain
• Calcific shoulder tendinopathy
• Greater trochanteric pain syndrome (hip pain)

What results can you expect?

Shockwave therapy is widely supported by research and is considered one of the most effective treatments for persistent tendon pain. Patients typically experience:

• Noticeable reduction in pain
• Improved movement and day-to-day function
• Return to sport and activity
• Less reliance on medication or injections

What to expect during treatment

• Improvements often begin after 1–3 sessions
• Continued progress over the following weeks
• Best outcomes when combined with a tailored rehab programme
• Clinical success rates are commonly reported at 60–80%+ for many conditions

How many sessions will I need?

Most people require 3 to 6 sessions, spaced around 1 week apart.

Your physiotherapist will guide this based on your symptoms, goals, and response to treatment.

Important – Assessment Required

To ensure safe and effective care, you must complete an initial physiotherapy assessment before starting shockwave therapy. This allows us to:

• Accurately diagnose your condition
• Confirm shockwave is appropriate for you
• Create a personalised treatment and rehabilitation plan
