Advanced, Non-Invasive Treatment for Pain Relief and Healing
We’re pleased to offer Focused Shockwave Therapy, an advanced treatment that may help reduce pain, stimulate the body’s natural healing processes, and support recovery from a range of musculoskeletal conditions.
Unlike medications or invasive procedures, focused shockwave therapy works by delivering high-energy acoustic waves directly to the injured tissue. This stimulates blood flow and encourages tissue repair, which may help reduce chronic pain and support a return to the activities you enjoy.
How Does It Work?
Focused shockwave therapy uses precisely targeted acoustic energy to reach damaged tissues deep beneath the skin. The treatment aims to:
- Stimulate the body’s natural healing response
- Improve blood circulation
- Encourage tissue regeneration
- Reduce chronic inflammation
- Break down calcified tissue
- Decrease pain and improve mobility
Because the energy is focused at a specific depth, treatment can target structures that are difficult to reach with other therapies.
Conditions That May Benefit
Focused Shockwave Therapy may be recommended for a range of acute and chronic conditions, including:
- Plantar fasciitis (heel pain)
- Achilles tendinopathy
- Tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow
- Shoulder pain and calcific tendinitis
- Rotator cuff injuries
- Patellar tendinopathy (jumper’s knee)
- Hamstring tendinopathy
- Hip pain and greater trochanteric pain syndrome
- Myofascial pain and trigger points
- TMJ, neck and back pain
- Knee osteoarthritis
- Stress fractures and delayed bone healing
- Chronic tendon injuries
During your assessment, we’ll determine whether this treatment is suitable for your condition.
Why Patients Consider Focused Shockwave Therapy
- Non-invasive treatment
- No surgery or injections
- Minimal downtime
- Short treatment sessions
- Works with the body’s natural healing processes
- May help relieve pain
- May improve function and mobility
- Can reach deeper tissues than many other treatment options
- Suitable for both acute and chronic injuries
The number of sessions needed varies depending on the condition being treated and how your body responds. Your clinician will discuss what to expect during your assessment.
What to Expect During Treatment
Treatment typically takes between 10 and 20 minutes.
A gel is applied to the skin before the handpiece is placed over the treatment area. You may feel a tapping sensation during treatment, and while some discomfort is normal, the intensity can be adjusted to keep you comfortable.
Most patients can return to their normal daily activities immediately afterwards.
Is Focused Shockwave Therapy Right for You?
If you’ve been living with persistent pain or an injury that isn’t improving with other treatments, focused shockwave therapy may be worth considering.
Our clinicians will perform a comprehensive assessment, discuss your goals, and develop a personalised treatment plan tailored to your needs.
