• Tennis elbow : This stubborn elbow condition which usually arises from repetitive
  movements can lead to significant implications for work and quality of
  life. A course of shockwave therapy has been shown to be up to 75%
  effective at completely treating tennis elbow.
• Plantar fasciitis : Recent studies have shown that a course of 3 or 4 shockwave treatments
  completely treats this debilitating and painful condition up to 88% of the
  time.
• Patellar tendinopathy : 60-90% of patients with a painful patella tendinopathy reported a full
  recovery after a short course of shockwave therapy.

Other conditions that shockwave can treat include:

• Achilles tendinopathy
• Myofascial pain
• Golfers elbow
• Biceps tendinopathy
• Shoulder rotator cuff injury
• Shin splints
• Hip bursitis
• Muscle tears and strains

Shockwave machines deliver rapid blasts of acoustic waves from the applicator in the
therapist’s hand into the target area down to a pre-specified depth. The interaction
these waves have with the tissues stimulates tissue repair, reduced pain and
increased mobility.

• Formation of
  new blood
  vessels : One reason tendon issues
  can take so long to recover
  is the poor blood supply to
  the area. Shockwave
  therapy creates
  microruptures in the
  capillaries leading to the
  creation of new vessels.
  This allows the body to
  more effectively introduce
  the nutrients required for
  repair.
• Stimulation of Collagen Production : Collagen form the
  building blocks of
  connective tissues such as
  ligaments and tendons. In
  order for these tissues to
  effectively repair, new
  collagen needs to be
  created. Shockwave
  therapy accelerates the
  production of collagen.
• Reduction of
  Chronic Inflammation : Chronic, long term
  inflammation is one of the
  key factors behind the
  long recovery times and
  high levels of pain
  associated with tendon
  issues. Shockwave therapy
  works to increase mast call
  activity in and around the
  affected area, essentially
  speeding up the
  inflammatory process, so
  that you get better
  quicker.

Osteo and Physio clinics use the highest standard of shockwave machine on the
market and treatments are administered by fully trained and insured
musculo-skeletal experts.


Shockwave appointments take approximately 20 minutes although the actual
therapy can be over in just 5 minutes in some cases. During your appointment your
therapist will likely provide additional treatment such as gentle soft tissue massage
and joint mobilization and you’ll also be given specific and tailored rehabilitation
exercises and advice.
