Shockwave therapy is a high intensity shock wave transmitted from an applicator through the skin. Shockwaves increase the healing process by stimulating blood flow to the area of treatment. An increase in blood flow assists to increase tissue repair and reduce pain.
We prescribe and apply Shockwave therapy because it doesn’t require any anaesthetic and has very few serious side effects. It is relatively pain-free and you can return to work straight after your treatment. Depending on your condition, you may be able to continue to exercise throughout your treatment sessions.
Most of our clients report of feeling better straight after their treatment, or within a few hours or days. They continue to improve following further sessions.
