Shockwave Therapy (ESWT)

Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) is a physiotherapy treatment primarily used for tendinopathies and other musculoskeletal conditions.

It delivers short, high-energy sound waves through the skin to the injured area. By adjusting power and frequency, the therapist can control the depth and intensity of the treatment.

These shockwaves trigger cellular changes in soft tissue, promoting an inflammatory response, increasing blood flow, reducing pain sensitivity, and stimulating collagen production and tissue repair.

Shockwave is often used when conventional treatments have failed, especially for chronic issues. Most patients see results within 3–5 sessions over 8–12 weeks, often supported by a tailored exercise program.

In the UK, NICE recommends Shockwave Therapy for conditions such as lateral epicondylitis, subacromial pain syndrome (rotator cuff disease), greater trochanteric pain syndrome, Achilles tendinopathy, and plantar fasciitis.

The International Society for Medical Shockwave Treatment also supports its use for myofascial trigger points and tendinopathies involving the hamstrings, adductors, elbow, foot/ankle, and shin splints.
