Shockwave Therapy

Radial Shockwave Therapy (RSWT) is a non-invasive treatment method that uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate healing in targeted musculoskeletal tissues. It’s particularly effective for chronic conditions that have not responded to traditional therapies.

How RSWT Works:

  • Mechanical Stimulation: The therapy delivers acoustic waves to the affected area, promoting increased blood flow and metabolic activity.

  • Pain Reduction: RSWT can help diminish pain by disrupting pain pathways and promoting the release of endorphins.

  • Tissue Regeneration: The treatment encourages the repair of tendons, ligaments, and other soft tissues.

Common Conditions Treated with RSWT:

  • Plantar Fasciitis

  • Tennis Elbow

  • Calcific Shoulder Tendinitis

  • Patellar Tendinopathy

  • Achilles Tendinopathy

What to Expect During Treatment:

  • Session Duration: Each session typically lasts about 15-20 minutes.

  • Sensation: Patients may experience mild discomfort during the procedure, which usually subsides immediately after treatment.

  • Treatment Course: A series of 3-5 sessions is often recommended, spaced one week apart.

At The Rehabilitation Group, our certified therapists are trained in administering RSWT, ensuring a safe and effective treatment experience. We integrate this therapy into comprehensive rehabilitation plans tailored to each individual’s needs.

This very much depends on the nature of your illness or injury but our job is to get you fit and healthy in the safest and healthiest manor. After our rehabilitator has conducted a full assessment your treatment plan will be fully discussed with you and then you can decide how you would like to proceed. Depending on our findings, you may require just 2 or 3 sessions and for more chronic and complex problems you may need several treatments.
