Shockwave Therapy Warrington
Looking for effective treatment for persistent tendon pain?
At One Stop Physiotherapy, we provide shockwave therapy in Warrington for people struggling with long-standing tendon injuries and chronic pain conditions that haven't improved with rest, exercise or previous treatment.
Shockwave therapy is a clinically proven treatment commonly used for:
-
Plantar fasciitis and heel pain

Achilles tendinopathy
-
Tennis elbow
-
Golfer's elbow
-
Patellar tendinopathy (jumper's knee)

By stimulating the body's natural healing response, shockwave therapy can help reduce pain, improve function and support recovery in damaged tendons and soft tissues.
Every treatment plan begins with a comprehensive assessment to determine whether shockwave therapy is the most appropriate option for your condition.
Is Shockwave therapy right for you?
Shockwave therapy is particularly effective for tendon injuries that have persisted for several months and haven't responded fully to other forms of treatment.
You may benefit from shockwave therapy if:
-
You've had pain for more than 3 months

Rest and self-management haven't solved the problem

Previous physiotherapy has provided only limited improvement

How many sessions will I need?
Most patients begin to notice improvements within the first few sessions.
Research suggests that a course of 3 shockwave therapy sessions is effective for many tendon conditions, although more persistent or longstanding injuries may require up to 5 sessions depending on severity and duration.
Treatment is typically delivered once per week and combined with a structured exercise programme to support long-term recovery.

Most patients require between 3 to 6 sessions, depending on the condition and its severity. Your physiotherapist will advise on the best treatment plan for you.
