How shockwave therapy works

During the treatment a high-intensity sound wave interacts with the tissues of the body. These waves stimulate an inflammatory and tissue repair response which leads to beneficial effects such as increased blood flow, reversal of inflammation, analgesic effects, stimulation of collagen and dissolution of calcium build-up.

The shock wave applicator will be applied to the treatment area with the shocks lasting between 3-5 minutes. You may have some discomfort following treatment but this will resolve within 24 hours.

• Plantar Fasciitis
• Achilles Tendinopathy
