What conditions does Shockwave Therapy treat?
Shockwave Therapy is highly effective for a range of many different types of MSK pains and injuries. Both soft tissue ailments and also hard tissue ailments, such as bones and joints.
Our clinic offers both Radial and Focused Shockwave Therapy. Our specialist technology can be used for a vast multitude of MSK ailments including common conditions like Achilles tendonitis, Plantar fasciitis, Hip bursitis (GTPS) and Tennis elbow to name a few.
We also help people suffering with more complicated issues like those that involving bones and joints. These include stress fractures, non-union fractures, osteoarthritis, facet joints in the lower back and sacroiliac pain around the pelvis and spine.
We are one of a limited number of clinics in the UK that offers both Radial and Focused Shockwave therapy.
This is where we offer game changing results compared to other clinics that are limited to just Radial Shockwave therapy. Ideally the best possible Shockwave treatment would generally involve both Radial and Focused in combination. In most cases, we also apply Myofascial release treatment as well. These three therapies together makes the world of difference for most conditions.
Radial Vs Focused Shockwave Therapy.
What is the difference?
Combining Myofascial release, Radial and Focused Shockwave together is generally the most effective treatment to accelerate healing by promoting tissue regeneration and faster recovery.
Together they work best to efficiently cover all angles to increase the time for speeding up the body's natural healing process.
This diagram clearly demonstrates how much deeper and more targeted the energy of Focused Shockwave can go, compared to Radial Shockwave.
Radial Shockwave Therapy produce sound waves that can penetrate up to 5cm deep into the body where as Focused Shockwave Therapy machines produce sound waves that are able to penetrate into deeper regions of the body, up to 12.5 cm. Radial shockwaves are also used really well to cover larger not so specific regions of the body, where the energy doesn't need to be as specific and targeted to one area.
Focused shockwaves are used in the treatment of more specific targeted deeper trigger points and areas, such as deep tendinopathies, bone conditions like osteoarthritis and stress fractures but are also extremely effective for soft tissue conditions such as Plantar Fasciitis and Achilles tendonitis.
Shockwave therapy has both NICE guidance and FDA approval for a large number of indications.

Shockwave Therapy cleverly uses high-energy soundwaves to stimulate the body's natural healing process by promoting an increase in blood flow, cell regeneration, and collagen production. This accelerates the repair process and helps to quickly reduce pain, even when other treatment therapies have already failed to have worked.
How Shockwave Therapy works:
-
Triggers the body's natural healing process:
Soundwaves create a controlled inflammatory response, boosting metabolism and blood circulation in the affected area.
-
Naturally promotes repair of injured tissue:
This increased activity helps break down calcifications, stimulate new tissue growth (collagen synthesis), and release growth factors.
-
Reduces pain in local area:
Overstimulating the nerve endings can decrease pain sensitivity in the area.
-
Non-invasively targets the root cause:
Shockwaves penetrates non-invasively through the skin into the injured area.
How Myofascial release therapy can help alongside Shockwave Treatment?
Here at The Shockwave Therapy Clinic we have specialist tools that we use with the Radial Shockwave machine for Myofascial release of the fascia tissue. (The tight areas known as muscle knots or trigger points).
This works really well for healing MSK pains and injuries such as Plantar Fasciitis or Achilles Tendonitis, when used in combination together with Radial and Focused Shockwave.
These have a huge benefit in decreasing pain, increasing mobility, improve circulation and postural issues.
