Shockwave Therapy In Coventry

Shockwave Therapy is one of our most effective therapies for stubborn pain and injuries. This non-invasive, evidence-based treatment stimulates the body’s natural healing process, relieving and accelerating recovery for various conditions.

What Is Shockwave Therapy?

Shockwave Therapy, also known as Radial Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (RESWT), is a modern, non-surgical treatment that delivers targeted sound waves to injured or painful areas. These acoustic waves enhance blood flow, reduce inflammation, and break down scar tissue, promoting tissue repair and regeneration. It is a safe and effective solution for chronic musculoskeletal conditions that have not responded to traditional physiotherapy or medications.

What To Expect During Treatment?

During a Shockwave Therapy session:

  1. A gel is applied to the treatment area to enhance the transmission of shockwaves.
  2. A handheld device delivers waves directly to the site of injury or pain.
  3. Each session lasts between 5 and 15 minutes, depending on the condition and area being treated.

Patients often describe the sensation as a tolerable ‘pulsing’ or ‘tapping’ on the skin. While you may feel slight discomfort during the session, most people find the treatment manageable and experience relief soon afterwards.

Proven Effectiveness

Research consistently supports the effectiveness of Shockwave Therapy, with many studies reporting:

  • Up to 80% improvement in chronic conditions such as plantar fasciitis and tendinopathies.
  • Faster recovery times compared to traditional treatments.
  • Significant pain reduction after just 2-4 sessions.

These results make Shockwave Therapy an excellent choice for patients seeking a proven, non-invasive solution.

How Many Sessions Are Needed?

Most patients experience noticeable improvement after 3-6 sessions, spaced about one week apart. For chronic or severe cases, additional sessions may be recommended. We combine Shockwave Therapy with tailored exercise programmes and guidance to ensure optimal recovery and long-term results.
