RADIAL SHOCKWAVE THERAPY
Radial shockwave therapy uses high-energy sound waves delivered to injured or painful tissues to stimulate healing and reduce pain. The treatment works by increasing blood flow to the affected area and triggering the body’s natural repair processes.
Radial shockwave therapy may be used to:
- Reduce pain and sensitivity
- Stimulate tissue healing
- Improve circulation
- Break down chronic scar tissue or calcification
It is commonly used for long-standing tendon and soft tissue conditions such as Achilles tendon pain, plantar fasciitis, and other persistent overuse injuries. Shockwave therapy is used selectively and only when appropriate for your condition. It is most effective when combined with an appropriate exercise rehabilitation programme to support long-term recovery.
