Frequently Asked Questions About Shockwave Therapy
What is shockwave therapy?
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate healing in injured or painful tissues. It is commonly used to treat chronic musculoskeletal conditions that have not responded to other treatments.
What conditions can shockwave therapy treat?
Shockwave therapy is highly effective for a range of conditions, including:

Plantar fasciitis (heel pain)
-
Achilles tendon pain
-
Tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow
-
Shoulder pain and rotator cuff injuries
-
Patellar tendon (knee) pain
How does shockwave therapy work?
Shockwave therapy increases blood flow, stimulates cell repair, and helps break down damaged tissue. This accelerates the body’s natural healing process and reduces pain over time.
Is shockwave therapy painful?
You may feel some discomfort during treatment, especially in sensitive areas. However, the intensity can be adjusted to ensure it remains tolerable, and most patients find the sessions quick and manageable.
How many shockwave therapy sessions will I need?
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.
How quickly will I see results?
Some patients notice improvement after the first session, but typically results develop gradually over a few weeks as the body heals.
