Extra corporeal shockwave therapy is an evidence based treatment that involves passing low energy pressure waves into irritated tissues to increase blood flow and stimulate repair whilst reducing pain and allowing your body to restart its own natural healing process.
How successful is the treatment?
After only 2-3 sessions many patients report a notable reduction or complete pain relief. In chronic conditions, an overall success rate of 60-80% has been reported when other therapeutic treatments have been unsuccessful.
How many sessions are needed?
The amount of treatments will vary dependant on the condition. As a rule of thumb 3-6 treatment sessions are advised. Sessions last 20 to 30 minutes.
Is shockwave therapy painful?
You may experience some discomfort during the treatment, but pain should be tolerable. Energy levels can be adjusted accordingly.
Is Shockwave therapy safe?
Shockwave therapy is very safe. It has been recommended by the National Institute of Health and Care Excellence for a number of different conditions and is used within the NHS. Shockwave therapy performed by qualified therapist is largely risk free.
