Shockwave Therapy

Shock wave therapy, also referred to as Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT), is a promising treatment for tendon injury. Based on lithotripsy that has been used to treat kidney stones for many years, research evidence now supports the use of shock wave therapy in treating common tendon injuries, including achilles tendinopathy, plantar fasciitis and shoulder calcific tendinopathy. Treatment stimulates healing in chronic tendon injuries that have failed to heal spontaneously and have not responded to other treatments. On average, 60-80% of patients find significant improvement in their tendon pain after treatment.

How does it work?

Shock wave therapy involves non-invasively delivering high frequency shock-waves to the injured tendon, through the skin. A standard course of shock wave therapy involves one treatment each week, for three to four weeks. Some discomfort during the treatment can be expected, however this will subside quickly afterwards, and often pain can be reduced. Strenuous activity should be avoided for 2 days post treatment.
