Shockwave Therapy
Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (SWT) is a non-invasive treatment for musculoskeletal conditions causing pain.
It is primarily used to treat tendon, fascia and muscle disorders. Shockwave therapy is typically done for between 3 and 5 sessions, spaced one week apart. Shockwave therapy aims to reduce pain and promote healing in the affected area.
It works alongside rehabilitation to improve outcomes.
The most common indications for SWT include:
- Plantar Fasciopathy
- Achilles Tendinopathy
- Patella Tendinopathy
- Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome
- Hamstring Tendinopathy
- Calcific Tendinosis in the Shoulder
- Tennis Elbow and Golfer’s Elbow
