What is Shockwave Therapy?

Shockwave Therapy uses controlled acoustic waves applied to the affected area. These waves may help stimulate the body’s natural tissue processes and support symptom management for specific conditions. It is non-invasive and performed in-clinic by trained clinicians.

Shockwave Therapy is typically used to support the management of:

  • Plantar heel pain

  • Achilles tendon concerns

  • Patellar tendon pain

  • Gluteal tendinopathy

  • Chronic or persistent soft-tissue irritation

Your clinician will determine whether Shockwave Therapy is appropriate for you after a thorough assessment.

How Shockwave Therapy Is Provided?

Before recommending Shockwave Therapy, your clinician completes a thorough assessment of your symptoms, activity levels, and contributing factors. If suitable, Shockwave Therapy is delivered as part of a broader management plan that may include exercise programs, load modification, footwear guidance, or education. Treatment frequency and expectations are discussed so you understand how it fits into your overall care.
