How Does Shockwave Therapy Work?
Shockwave therapy uses high-energy acoustic waves to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. When applied to injured tissues, these sound waves promote increased blood flow, reduce pain, stimulate collagen production, and encourage tissue regeneration. It can also help break down calcifications and scar tissue that might be restricting movement or causing pain.
Over a course of treatments, shockwave therapy can significantly speed up recovery and enhance tissue healing, getting you back to doing what you love more quickly and safely.
A Course of Treatment
It’s important to understand that shockwave therapy is most effective as part of a course of treatment, typically delivered over 3–6 sessions depending on your specific condition and needs. Your physiotherapist will decide this after your initial diagnosis session.
Most of the time 4 sessions are required It is not a one-off solution, but a powerful tool when combined with a tailored physiotherapy program. Our approach integrates shockwave therapy with hands-on therapy, exercise rehabilitation, and advice to ensure you achieve the best possible outcomes.
Our expert team will guide you through each stage of your treatment plan, ensuring it is carefully adapted to your progress and goals.
