Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave Therapy is an evidence-based procedure that uses audible, high-energy sound waves, passed through the skin, to an injured tendon or ligament.
In musculoskeletal medicine, they are used to stimulate the local metabolism and blood circulation to damaged tissue, to encourage it to regenerate and heal. Essentially, this breaks up scar tissue within the injured tendon or ligament to enable it to re-heal without the scarring.
Up to 80% of patients report significant improvement in their symptoms after just 3 treatment sessions, with many reporting pain relief straight after their first treatment.
