Physiotherapy & Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy, when combined with physiotherapy, is a comprehensive way to fully recover from a primary injury and help ensure it does not weaken and reoccur in the future. Shockwave therapy will treat the injury directly, and physiotherapy will strengthen the supporting joints and tissues while addressing other issues that may worsen the pain.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are Shockwaves?
Acoustic waves or sound waves with very high energy bursts you see with lightning strikes are known as shockwaves. When using shockwave therapy for treating chronic pain, the penetrating sound waves directly target the body’s tissue layers, creating the optimal environment for healing.
What is the difference between shockwave therapy and ultrasound?
Ultrasound uses multiple-pulse sound waves to heat body tissue, while shock waves use high-energy single-pulse sound waves to stimulate natural healing.
Is Shockwave Therapy suitable for everyone?
Shockwave therapy is not suitable for everyone. Precautions include:
- Pregnancy
- Disturbed sensory and nervous function, e.g., Diabetes
- Recent corticosteroid injections (wait at least 6 weeks after local injections)
- Malignancy
