ORIGINATING FROM TECHNOLOGY USED TO TREAT KIDNEY STONES, RADIAL SHOCKWAVE THERAPY (RSWT) DELIVERS LOW-ENERGY PRESSURE WAVES INTO DAMAGED TISSUES. THIS PROCESS, ALSO KNOWN AS EXTRACORPOREAL SHOCKWAVE THERAPY (ESWT), STIMULATES THE BODY'S NATURAL REPAIR MECHANISMS.
WE OFFER TREATMENT PACKAGES OF EITHER 4 OR 6 SESSIONS, DEPENDING ON THE SEVERITY AND DURATION OF YOUR CONDITION. SESSIONS ARE TYPICALLY DELIVERED ON A WEEKLY BASIS DURING YOUR STANDARD PHYSIOTHERAPY APPOINTMENTS. WHILE THE TREATMENT ITSELF IS QUICK, THE BENEFITS ARE LONG-LASTING. WE WILL FOLLOW UP WITH YOU 6-10 WEEKS AFTER YOUR FINAL SESSION TO ASSESS YOUR PROGRESS AND CELEBRATE YOUR LONG-TERM RESULTS.
GUIDED BY BOTH NICE RECOMMENDATIONS AND EXTENSIVE CLINICAL EVIDENCE, OUR SHOCKWAVE THERAPY SERVICE PRIMARILY TARGETS CHRONIC TENDINOPATHIES—STUBBORN TENDON ISSUES THAT HAVEN'T RESPONDED TO OTHER TREATMENTS.​​
