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.

Achilles tendinopathy
Tennis elbow

Patellar tendon pain
Rotator cuff tendon pain
Calcific shoulder tendinitis

Why Patients Choose It
Patients Often Consider Shockwave Therapy When They Are
Frustrated by persistent pain
Struggling with recurring tendon injuries
Trying to avoid injections or surgery
Unable to return fully to exercise or sport
Limited by pain during walking, running, or gym activity
Shockwave therapy can be particularly useful for chronic tendon pain where the body's natural healing response has slowed or stalled — helping stimulate recovery without surgery or prolonged downtime.
