Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy

Radial Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy is an  evidence-based treatment that involves passing low energy pressure waves into damaged tissues to increase bloodflow and stimulate repair whilst reducing pain and allowing your body to restart its own natural healing process.

WHAT ARE RADIAL SHOCKWAVES?
Shockwave therapy has been used since the 1980’s for the non-surgical treatment of kidney stones, fast forward 40 years and its now used to treat many areas of the body.  Radial shockwaves are low energy pressure waves that are delivered into damaged tissues such as tendons and muscle, this increases blood flow, has an analgesic effect and stimulates the body’s natural repair and regeneration processes.

WHO USES SHOCKWAVE THERAPY?
This treatment is widely used in physiotherapy, podiatry, osteopathy, sports medicine and
orthopaedics to provide fast pain relief and increased mobility. Shockwave Therapy is clinically
