Treatment
Radial Shockwave Therapy
High-energy acoustic waves delivered to damaged tissue , stimulating your body's natural healing response where other treatments have stalled.
Radial Shockwave Therapy uses high-energy acoustic pressure waves to create micro-trauma deep in tissue , triggering your body's natural healing cascade: breaking down calcification, stimulating collagen production, and improving blood flow. It's especially effective for chronic tendinopathies that haven't responded to other treatments, essentially restarting a stalled healing process.

What to expect
How Shockwave Treatment Works
Initial Assessment
We assess your injury, confirm shockwave is appropriate, and explain what to expect.
Treatment Session
A handheld applicator delivers focused pulses to the target tissue , 15–20 minutes per session.
Tissue Response
In the 24–72h after each session your body activates its healing cascade. Some soreness is normal.
Progressive Recovery
Each session builds on the last. Most patients see clear improvement by session 3–4.
