Discover the Power of Shockwave Therapy
Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (EWST) is a cutting-edge treatment that delivers high-frequency shock waves to injured tendons, stimulating your body's natural healing process. It's a popular choice for managing chronic tendon pain that hasn’t responded to other treatments, helping people move better and feel stronger.
Whether you're dealing with discomfort from sports, work, or daily activities, Shockwave Therapy offers a non-invasive path to recovery.

What To Expect During Treatment?
Shockwave therapy sessions are straightforward and efficient!
Sessions last 5-10 minutes each. Typically, you’ll need 2-5 sessions, spaced one week apart.The process involves placing a special probe over the injured area to deliver those powerful shock waves, stimulating repair and reducing pain.
Are There Any Side-Effects?
The good news? Side effects are minimal!
During treatment, it’s normal to experience some discomfort—this is often a sign the therapy is targeting the right area. We’ll always work within your personal threshold and check in with you regularly to ensure the intensity is manageable.
After your session, most people feel little to no lingering discomfort, similar to the sensation of having had a deep massage. In fact, it’s quite common to notice reduced pain in the treated area.
You can return to most daily activities immediately, but we do recommend avoiding strenuous exercise for 48 hours post-treatment to allow your body to heal optimally.
