Shockwave Therapy?


Shockwave therapy is an effective, evidence based, non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate healing and improve symptoms in the muscles, tendons and soft tissue. It is commonly used to treat musculoskeletal conditions such as plantar fasciitis, tendonitis, and chronic pain in the back, neck, and shoulders.


Shockwave is a safe alternative to surgery or other NHS interventions.  It is clinically proven to create an adaption to the metabolic state of cells and stimulate enzymes involved in reducing pain and inflammation.  Shockwave is especially successful when  pain has become chronic (3 months +), whereby the body has become unable to heal itself. 


The application of shock waves, known as Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT), specifically targets inflammation, creating tiny air bubble cavitations, which increase blood flow, pain reducing enzymes and your own stem cell activity.  Often patients report long term relief and resolution of their pain/mobility loss, without recurrence or the need for top up treatments.

EMTT Combined with Shockwave is Often Best

Extracorporeal Magnetotransduction Therapy (EMTT) is a physical therapy technique that provides a non-invasive and evidence based treatment for diseases of the musculoskeletal system such as pain in the lower back pain, arthritis as well as inflammation in tendons and joints.


EMTT relies on the production of high-intensity magnetic field pulses to stimulate cellular responses, promoting natural healing processes in the body’s tissues. If you are able to have an MRI, EMTT will be suitable.


Often used in conjunction with shockwave therapy to maximise results.

The History Of Shockwave


Shockwave therapy was first created back in the 1970’s and was exclusively used as an effective treatment technique for kidney stones. Using this method hugely reduced the need for a painful, invasive surgery.


Later in the 1980s, practitioners using shockwaves to break up kidney stones noticed a secondary result. Bones close to the treatment site were seeing an increase in mineral density. Because of this, researchers began to look into its applications in orthopaedics, which led to its first use in bone fracture healing. Over the coming decades came many more discoveries of its effects and the full potential for therapeutic use that it holds today.
