This causes microtrauma, increases blood flow and stimulates an acute response which aids the healing process.
Shockwave therapy is widely used in osteopathy, physiotherapy, podiatry, sports medicine, urology and orthopaedics to provide fast pain relief and increased mobility.
Moreover ESWT (Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy) is being increasingly used as a treatment for health problems such as erectile dysfunction, slow-healing wounds, cellulite and neurological conditions.

Shockwave therapy has both NICE guidance and FDA approval for a large number of indications. If delivered by qualified therapists, the treatment is largely risk and side-effect-free, making it a safe treatment choice for musculoskeletal conditions and chronic pain. Shockwave therapy is a highly trusted treatment modality and is used by hundreds of private clinics, NHS hospitals and professional sports clubs across the UK.

Focused shockwave therapy (ESWT) can help in non-invasive treatments for orthopaedic disorders, deep seated tendons, bone stress injuries, tendinopathies, men’s health, wound healing, myofascial pain syndromes and more.
It works by causing deep cell stimulation that releases growth factors responsible for tissue regeneration and the initiation of healing processes in the damaged tissues. It is a gold standard treatment for deep-lying tendinopathies, calcifications, and delayed bone healing conditions, such as pseudoarthrosis. It can reach greater depths of focused shockwaves over radial.
Radial Shockwave Therapy is an FDA cleared technology proven to increase the rate of healing for soft tissue tendinopathies. It is an advanced, non-invasive and highly effective treatment method that enhances blood circulation and accelerates the healing process causing damaged tissue to gradually regenerate.
ESWT is commonly used to treat conditions like plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, tennis elbow, shoulder tendinitis, hip pain, and chronic musculoskeletal problems.
ESWT may not be suitable for everyone. Patients should consult with a healthcare provider or orthopedic specialist to determine if they are good candidates for ESWT, considering their specific condition and medical history.
No, ESWT is a non-surgical and non-invasive procedure, meaning it does not require incisions or anesthesia.
The level of discomfort during ESWT can vary from person to person, but it is generally well-tolerated. Some patients may experience mild discomfort or pressure at the treatment site during the procedure.
Yes, osteopathy can complement other medical treatments. Osteopaths often collaborate with other healthcare professionals to provide comprehensive care.
The number of ESWT sessions required can vary depending on the condition and the individual’s response to treatment. Some individuals may experience relief after just one session, while others may require multiple sessions over several weeks.
ESWT is typically an outpatient procedure, and most patients can resume their normal activities shortly after treatment. However, it’s advisable to follow any post-treatment instructions provided by the healthcare provider.
Coverage for ESWT may vary depending on the healthcare provider and the patient’s insurance plan. It’s recommended to check with the insurance provider for details on coverage.
