Understanding your care
What is extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT)?
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that delivers acoustic waves through a handheld applicator to a targeted area. These mechanical waves interact with tissue and are thought to encourage a healing response, support local circulation and help reduce pain sensitivity.
ESWT offers a drug-free treatment option that can complement rehabilitation. The aim is to support the body’s recovery processes while helping you move more comfortably. Your clinician will explain the equipment and approach used for your care.
Potential benefits include:
- Supporting local blood flow and tissue metabolism.
- Encouraging a healing response in the treated tissue.
- Helping manage persistent pain and sensitivity.
- Supporting movement and a gradual return to activity.
Let’s get to know you
Personalised care for pain and soft tissue recovery
Your care begins with understanding the whole picture: where you feel discomfort, how you move and what you want to get back to. Shockwave therapy may be considered for a range of tendon and soft tissue concerns, including:
- Plantar fasciitis and persistent heel pain.
- Achilles, patellar and other tendon-related discomfort.
- Tennis elbow and selected shoulder tendinopathies.
- Lateral hip pain associated with gluteal tendinopathy.
- Selected muscle and soft tissue concerns within a rehabilitation plan.
You’re also welcome to see us for back pain, joint discomfort or recovery after an injury. We’ll assess the source of your symptoms and explain where shockwave may fit alongside chiropractic care, physiotherapy and exercises. This keeps treatment focused on your individual findings and goals.
Your progress
What happens during a shockwave therapy session?
We’ll help you settle into a comfortable position, apply contact gel and gently place the handheld applicator over the treatment area. You may feel a rhythmic tapping sensation. We’ll check in with you and adjust the settings to your comfort and treatment needs.
Appointments are usually around 20–30 minutes, allowing time for review and care; the shockwave application itself is shorter. An initial course may involve 3–5 visits, with the number and spacing personalised after assessment and reviewed as you progress.
We’ll monitor changes in pain, mobility and everyday function, and guide you through exercises and activity advice between visits. Recovery develops over time, and your own response will shape the next steps.

Your questions, answered.
What can shockwave therapy help with?
ESWT can be considered for selected persistent tendon and soft tissue conditions, including heel pain, Achilles problems, tennis elbow and lateral hip pain. If you have back or joint pain, we’ll assess the cause and talk through which treatments best support your needs.
Is shockwave therapy comfortable?
You may feel rhythmic tapping and some discomfort over a sensitive area. We’ll check in throughout and adjust the settings so the treatment feels manageable.
How long does treatment take, and how many visits will I need?
Appointments are usually 20–30 minutes, including review and care, with a shorter period of shockwave application. An initial plan may involve 3–5 visits, with timing and follow-up tailored to your assessment and progress.
Can shockwave therapy help plantar fasciitis?
Shockwave therapy may support persistent plantar heel pain as part of a plan that includes exercises, activity advice and footwear guidance. We’ll assess your symptoms and explain how ESWT could fit into your care.
What should I know about aftercare?
Mild, temporary redness, soreness, bruising or swelling can occur. We’ll explain relevant risks before treatment and share personalised aftercare advice, including when to ease back on strenuous activity and when to contact us.
What should I share before treatment?
Please tell us about your medicines, pregnancy, bleeding conditions, recent injections, implants and other medical concerns. This helps us carry out careful checks and plan suitable treatment. Continue prescribed medicines unless your prescriber advises otherwise.
Can shockwave be combined with other treatment?
Yes. Depending on your needs, we may combine shockwave with physiotherapy, chiropractic care and rehabilitation exercises to support strength, mobility and your return to daily activities.
