Are you struggling with stubborn tendon pain that just won’t go away?
At Flexcare Injury Clinic, we understand how frustrating chronic pain can be — especially when conventional treatments haven’t worked. That’s why we’re proud to offer Radial Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT), a cutting-edge treatment designed to help you get back to doing what you love, pain-free.
- We are pleased to confirm that we also accept BUPA members for Shockwave Therapy treatment — making this effective therapy more accessible to you.
What Is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses low-energy sound waves to target chronic tendon conditions that haven’t improved with other treatments like physiotherapy, orthotics, or medication. This innovative therapy works by triggering your body’s natural healing processes, boosting blood circulation, and encouraging tissue regeneration.
Many patients find that Shockwave Therapy helps reduce pain by overstimulating the nerves, effectively lowering sensitivity in the affected area.
Conditions We Treat
Shockwave Therapy at Flexcare Injury Clinic is especially effective for persistent tendon and soft tissue conditions, including:
- Heel pain (Plantar fasciitis)
- Achilles tendinopathy
- Patellar tendinitis (jumper’s knee)
- Hamstring tendinopathy
- Trochanteric bursitis (hip pain)
- Tennis or golfer’s elbow
- Shoulder tendinitis
- Shin splints
If you’ve been struggling with any of these conditions for more than 3–6 months without relief, Shockwave Therapy could be the solution you’ve been looking for.
What To Expect From Your Treatment?
A typical course of Shockwave Therapy involves one session per week for three weeks. Each session takes about 5–10 minutes, and a follow-up appointment will be arranged to review your progress. In some cases, an additional three sessions may be recommended for the best results.
During the treatment, a contact gel is applied to the skin, and a handheld device delivers the sound waves to the affected area. The procedure is safe and non-invasive — although you may feel some mild discomfort, most patients find it tolerable and worth the results.
Is Shockwave Therapy Safe?
According to national guidelines, Shockwave Therapy is a safe treatment option for many patients when delivered by trained professionals like our team at Flexcare Injury Clinic. As with any treatment, we’ll complete a thorough assessment to make sure it’s appropriate for you. We’ll also discuss any risks and side effects, such as mild bruising, temporary pain, or swelling, so you know exactly what to expect.
