It involves sending shockwaves through your skin towards the painful, affected and damaged tissue.<\/p>\n<h3>How does it work?<\/h3>\n<p>The treatment produces an inflammatory response which increases metabolic and circulatory activity. This stimulates your body\u2019s healing process thereby promoting recovery and remodelling of damaged and dysfunctional tissues.<\/p>\n<p>ESWT aids in the breakdown of scar tissue and calcification and can also stimulate pain relief through neural mechanisms (reduction of nerve signals to the brain).<\/p>\n<h3>What conditions can ESWT treat?<\/h3>\n<p>Shockwave therapy can be used to treat:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.physiotherapymatters.co.uk\/private-clinics\/conditions\/tennis-elbow\/\">Tennis elbow<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Golfers elbow<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.physiotherapymatters.co.uk\/private-clinics\/conditions\/achilles-tendinopathy\/\">Plantar fasciitis<\/a> (heel pain)<\/li>\n<li>Shoulder tendon pain<\/li>\n<li>Shin splints<\/li>\n<li>Hamstring and patella tendon pain<\/li>\n<li>Bursitis<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>What is the Success Rate?<\/h3>\n<p>Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy is a highly effective treatment for chronic tendon disorders and is widely used in practice. Research demonstrates a 70-80% success rate across a vast range of conditions. It may not work for everyone, but it helps most people when other conservative treatments have failed. It has helped many people to avoid undergoing invasive or surgical treatments<\/p>\n<h3>What are the Benefits?<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Stimulates the body\u2019s natural self-healing process<\/li>\n<li>Non-Invasive<\/li>\n<li>Immediate reduction in pain<\/li>\n<li>Increased Range of movement<\/li>\n<li>May eliminate the need for surgery<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Booking a Shockwave appointment?<\/h3>\n<p>It is advisable to receive between 3-6 Shockwave treatment sessions.<\/p>\n<h3>Prices<\/h3>\n<table class=\"price_table\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>*Package of 3 Shockwave and Physiotherapy sessions following an Initial Assessment (30 mins)<\/td>\n<td>\u00a3300<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><strong>All Initial Appointments and Packages to be paid in advance.<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>*Packages to be used within 6 months.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Resources downloads<\/h2><div class=\"grid grid_2 grid_s downloads\"><div class=\"cell box box_s pdf\" ><div class=\"d_info\"><h4>Radial Patient Brochure<\/h4><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.physiotherapymatters.co.uk\/private-clinics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/02\/FA-584_EN_Ed-01-2016_Radial-Patient-Brochure_Light-1.pdf\" class=\"button \">Download <span class=\"icon icon_book-reference icon_\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"20\" height=\"20\" viewBox=\"0 0 20 20\"><path d=\"M6 4H5a1 1 0 1 1 0-2h11V1a1 1 0 0 0-1-1H4a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v16c0 1.1.9 2 2 2h12a2 2 0 0 0 2-2V5a1 1 0 0 0-1-1h-7v8l-2-2-2 2V4z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div><div class=\"cell box box_s pdf\" ><div class=\"d_info\"><h4>Shockwave - Patient Information Leaflet<\/h4><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.physiotherapymatters.co.uk\/private-clinics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/11\/ESWT-PIL-A4-1.pdf\" class=\"button \">Download <span class=\"icon icon_book-reference icon_\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"20\" height=\"20\" viewBox=\"0 0 20 20\"><path d=\"M6 4H5a1 1 0 1 1 0-2h11V1a1 1 0 0 0-1-1H4a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v16c0 1.1.9 2 2 2h12a2 2 0 0 0 2-2V5a1 1 0 0 0-1-1h-7v8l-2-2-2 2V4z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) is a non-invasive treatment that assists with the body\u2019s natural healing process.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":180,"parent":74,"menu_order":8,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-110","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) | Physiotherapy Matters<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy for a range of soft tissue problems including Achilles Tendinopathy &amp; Tennis Elbow.
