Don’t be put off by the name. Shockwave Therapy is an innovative and highly effective treatment for chronic pain. It uses pressure pulses, or acoustic waves, that expand in the body and stimulate blood vessel and nerve growth to help heal and regenerate tissue.

Shockwave Therapy is used more and more within elite sport and is a safe and highly researched modality for treating amongst other things, common conditions such as: plantar fasciitis, frozen shoulder, tennis elbow, achilles tendinopathy, shin splints, knee pain, arthritis, rotator cuff injuries and hamstring tendinopathies.

If you’re suffering from acute or long-standing, persistent conditions, shockwave therapy may be the ideal treatment to relieve pain, restore mobility and speed up recovery time. Treatments are quick and non-invasive. Why not contact our osteopathy and rehabilitation injury experts in London today to find out how we can help you.
