Radial shockwave therapy

A non‑invasive treatment using acoustic waves to reduce pain and support healing.

Radial Shockwave Therapy

About radial shockwave therapy

Radial Shockwave Therapy is a modern, non‑surgical treatment that delivers targeted acoustic pressure waves to injured or painful musculoskeletal tissue. It’s designed to stimulate the body’s natural healing mechanisms, enhance blood flow, reduce inflammation and support recovery from persistent pain and overuse injuries.

What is radial shockwave therapy for?

This therapy is commonly used for chronic tendon, muscle and soft tissue conditions that haven’t fully responded to conventional care. It’s frequently applied in cases of tendon pain, muscular tightness, trigger point irritation and symptoms associated with overuse, helping people move more comfortably and return to activity.

How radial shockwave therapy may help

Radial Shockwave Therapy may help by increasing circulation and oxygenation in the affected area, reducing chronic inflammation and stimulating the production of collagen to support tissue strength and repair.

These effects can lead to reduced pain, improved mobility and enhanced tissue regeneration without the need for drugs or surgery.

Radial shockwave therapy: how it works

During a Radial Shockwave Therapy session, a clinician applies a handheld device over the area of concern. Highenergy acoustic waves are delivered through a coupling gel into the skin and underlying tissues. These waves interact with cells and blood vessels to stimulate healing responses, promote circulation and modulate pain signals. Sessions are typically quick and can be integrated with other physiotherapy treatments for comprehensive care.

Frequently asked questions

What conditions can radial shockwave therapy treat?

Radial Shockwave Therapy can be used for tendon pain (like plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendinopathy), muscle trigger points, elbow tendinopathies, shoulder discomfort and other chronic soft tissue issues that haven’t improved with conservative treatment.

Is radial shockwave therapy painful?

Most people tolerate the treatment well. Some sensation or mild discomfort may be experienced during or after the session, but this varies between individuals and can be adjusted by your clinician.

How many treatments will I need?

The number of sessions depends on the severity of your condition and your response to therapy. Many people see gradual improvement over a series of treatments scheduled over several weeks.

Is there downtime after treatment?

There’s minimal downtime. Most individuals can resume normal activities soon after treatment, though avoiding strenuous or high‑impact exercise for 24–48 hours is usually recommended.
