Chronic tendon pain, plantar fasciitis, or tennis elbow can linger for months even with rest — often overlapping with joint pain and stiffness or a stubborn sports injury — and for many people, standard treatments simply don't resolve it. Shockwave and ultrasound therapy offer a non-invasive, evidence-based option for exactly these stubborn, long-standing conditions.
Shockwave therapy uses targeted acoustic pulses to stimulate healing in chronic soft-tissue injuries, while ultrasound therapy uses sound waves to reduce inflammation and promote tissue repair — both are commonly used for tendon and joint conditions that haven't responded to other treatments.
What the Research Says
A 2023 systematic review analyzing 18 articles and over 1,600 patients reported that extracorporeal shock wave therapy produced improvement in both pain and function compared to placebo for tendinopathy, with the authors concluding it is an effective treatment option for chronic tendon conditions.

Our Approach
Our practitioners target the exact tendon or joint causing pain with acoustic pulses that stimulate cellular repair and sound waves that reduce inflammation — not a general pain-management approach. We often combine this with physiotherapy to correct the movement pattern that caused the injury in the first place. Book your shockwave assessment today.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is shockwave therapy painful?
Most patients feel a tapping or mild discomfort during treatment, but it's well tolerated.
How many sessions are typically needed?
This varies by condition; your practitioner will recommend a course based on your assessment.
What conditions respond best to this treatment?
Chronic tendon issues like plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, and tendonitis respond particularly well.
