Are you suffering from persistent pain that just won’t go away? Have you tried various treatments with limited success? At Physio Fitness, we’re proud to offer Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) – a cutting-edge, non-invasive solution for chronic musculoskeletal pain and stubborn injuries.
Available at our Hampstead clinic in North London, Shockwave Therapy is proving to be a game-changer for many of our clients, accelerating healing and providing lasting relief.
Shockwave Therapy works by delivering high-energy acoustic waves to the affected area. These waves stimulate the body’s natural healing processes, increase blood flow, break down calcifications, and reduce pain. It’s an evidence-based treatment, particularly effective for chronic conditions that haven’t responded to conventional therapies.
Shockwave Therapy is highly effective for a range of chronic conditions, particularly those involving tendons and fascia. You might benefit from Shockwave Therapy if you’re experiencing:
Your Physiotherapist will first conduct a thorough assessment to confirm your diagnosis and determine if Shockwave Therapy is the most appropriate treatment for your condition.
A gel is applied to the skin over the affected area. The Shockwave device is then placed on the skin, delivering controlled acoustic waves.
You may feel some discomfort during the treatment, which is usually manageable and decreases as the session progresses. The intensity can be adjusted to your comfort level.
Each Shockwave session typically lasts between 5-10 minutes.
A series of 3-5 sessions, usually spaced 5-10 days apart, is commonly recommended for optimal results. Your therapist will advise on the best protocol for your specific needs.
Shockwave Therapy is often combined with a comprehensive physiotherapy programme, including tailored exercises and advice, to ensure long-term recovery and prevent recurrence.
Our physiotherapists are highly trained and certified in the safe and effective application of Shockwave Therapy.
We utilise the latest, clinically proven Shockwave technology to ensure optimal results.
Shockwave is integrated into a complete treatment plan, addressing underlying causes and promoting long-term recovery.
