What is Shockwave Therapy?

Shockwave therapy (also called extracorporeal shockwave therapy or ESWT) involves delivering acoustic (sound) waves into injured tissue via a handheld applicator. These waves stimulate the body’s repair processes (a mechanism known as mechanotransduction) and are used to treat chronic tendon injuries and soft-tissue conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you can’t find an answer to your question in the FAQ’s below, you can always contact us and we’ll respond asap.

You will feel some pain during the session. Many clients describe it as a “clicking” feeling or some discomfort but generally tolerable. We adjust settings for your comfort and tissue. After the session you may feel some soreness (similar to when you start a new workout) for 1-2 days.

It depends on your condition, how long you’ve had it, and how it responds. Some tendinopathies require 3-6 sessions (often 1 week apart).

Many people start to feel changes in pain, stiffness or load tolerance within a few weeks, but full functional improvement can take longer (6-12 weeks). Tissue healing takes time.

Yes — for best outcomes we combine shockwave with load management, strengthening/rehab exercises (especially tendon loading), and lifestyle adjustments (e.g., posture, activity modification).

No treatment guarantees 100% success for everyone sadly. But we see some fantastic results with Radial Shockwave when combined with traditional approaches.
