Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate healing in injured tissues. It increases blood flow, reduces pain, and kickstarts the body’s natural repair process.
Think of it like setting off a firework within the tendon—sparking a controlled reaction that wakes up the healing response. ESWT is commonly used for conditions like plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, and other chronic musculoskeletal issues, offering effective pain relief without the need for surgery or medication.
While ESWT is a safe and non-invasive treatment, our practitioners will carry out a detailed Biomechanical Examination prior to recommending it to ensure you are suitable to start and that it is a correct option for you.Â
Our team uses shockwave therapy to accelerate your healing along other treatments such as rehabilitation programmes and custom made foot orthotics. ESWT has a cumulative effect and generally you will be recommended 3-6 sessions every 1 week apart.
Helping patients of all ages to keep active & do the things they love.
