Did you know tendon problems are more common than osteoarthritis?

Radial Shockwave (RSWT) is a proven electrotherapy tool for the treatment of tendinopathies and approved by the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE). It is therefore recommended in the treatment of Achilles, patella, rotator cuff or gluteal tendinopathy.

RSWT involves passing high pressure waves through the skin to the tissue below. Current evidence suggests 5-6 treatments sessions may be required at 1-2 week intervals. RSWT is most effective when used alongside a rehabilitation programme to ensure recovery is comprehensive and the symptoms are less likely to recur.

Shockwave therapy has become mainstream for tendinopathy management and as such if any of our therapists believes it will be effective, we can incorporate it into a regular treatment session rather than specific packages of shockwave. Contact us to find out more
