The ‘waves’ refer to mechanical pressure that pulsates and expands throughout the body as a ‘shock’ is administered. This has a number of healing qualities as the energy is conducted from the administered point to the area of pain within the body where it has the capacity to heal.

Shockwave Therapy was initially used in this country to remove kidney stones without having to resort to surgery. This treatment, which is now used to treat 98% of all kidney stones, is called lithotripsy and uses directed shockwaves to dissolve the kidney stones.

In the early 1990’s shockwave treatment began to be used to treat tendon related pain and is now used widely by orthopaedic and rehabilitation practitioners as there is much proof and research to support the long term healing properties of the treatment.

In many cases, shockwave therapy can break up deposits within an injured tendon that have built up over time, leading to long term healing.
