Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive acoustic wave treatment for chronic tendinopathies, heel pain, shoulder calcification and persistent soft tissue injuries — particularly useful when other treatments have stalled and healing needs a fresh trigger.
Who This Is For
- Anyone with a chronic tendon condition — such as tennis elbow, Achilles tendinopathy or plantar fasciitis — that hasn't responded to other treatment
- People with heel pain or shoulder calcification
- Athletes with persistent soft tissue injuries where healing has stalled
What To Expect
- A non-invasive acoustic wave treatment applied directly to the affected area
- Most conditions respond within 3 to 6 sessions, usually weekly or fortnightly
- An honest estimate of how many sessions you'll likely need, given at your first appointment
Frequently Asked Questions
How many shockwave therapy sessions will I need?
Most conditions respond well within 3 to 6 sessions, typically delivered weekly or fortnightly. Jack will give you an honest estimate at your first appointment based on your condition.
Does shockwave therapy hurt?
It can feel uncomfortable during treatment, particularly over a sensitive area, but it's brief and well tolerated by most patients. Jack will adjust the intensity to a level you're comfortable with.
Do I need an assessment first?
Yes — first-time patients need an Initial Assessment so Jack can confirm shockwave therapy is the right treatment for your condition.
