Fast, Non-Invasive Relief for Chronic Pain and Soft Tissue Injuries
Shock Wave Therapy (Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy, ESWT) is an advanced, non-surgical treatment that stimulates the body’s natural healing response. Using focused sound waves, this therapy improves blood flow, repairs damaged tissue, and reduces inflammation — offering rapid, drug-free pain relief for chronic tendon and muscle injuries.
At London Private Ultrasound, every treatment is consultant-led and performed using real-time ultrasound guidance for precision, safety, and optimal results.
How Shock Wave Therapy Works
During the procedure, controlled high-energy acoustic waves are directed to the injured area. These sound waves:
- Increase blood circulation to damaged tissues
- Stimulate cell regeneration and collagen production
- Break down painful calcium deposits and scar tissue
- Reduce inflammation and promote long-term recovery
Over time, this process helps restore mobility, strength, and flexibility without injections, medication, or surgery.
Conditions Treated
Shock Wave Therapy is an evidence-based treatment used for a wide range of chronic and sports-related conditions, including:
- Tendonitis and tendinopathy (Achilles, rotator cuff, patellar, or hamstring)
- Plantar fasciitis and heel pain
- Tennis or golfer’s elbow
- Shoulder calcific tendonitis
- Muscle strain or myofascial pain
- Delayed muscle recovery after injury
Benefits of Shock Wave Therapy
- Non-invasive and drug-free treatment
- Stimulates natural healing and tissue regeneration
- Improves blood flow and oxygen delivery
- Reduces inflammation and chronic pain
- Quick recovery time — return to daily activities immediately
- High success rates for chronic tendon injuries
What to Expect During the Session
Your appointment begins with a specialist consultation and ultrasound scan to locate the exact site of tissue injury.
The shock wave device is then applied to the area for several minutes, delivering a series of focused acoustic pulses.
Most patients experience mild discomfort during treatment, which quickly subsides, and each session typically lasts 15–20 minutes.
A full course of 3–6 sessions is usually recommended for optimal results, depending on the condition and response.
Aftercare & Rehabilitation
Following treatment, you may be advised to rest the area briefly and avoid high-impact activity for 24–48 hours.
A personalised rehabilitation plan may include stretching and strengthening exercises to enhance healing and prevent recurrence.

Thank you.Posted on Penny TaliadorosTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I visited the St Albans branch for an ultrasound. There were plenty of appointments to choose from, also lots on the same day. The clinic is easy to find right next door to the Malting multi story car park. I had no wait and was greeted by a lovely friendly lady who took me through to the room. Exceptional service with a friendly and expert sonographer who talked me through his findings. The whole procedure was quick, easy and so worth the money to get this done immediately.Posted on andrew baguleyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. On 21st October 2025 I had their Heart Health Checkup Plus at Wellbeck Street W1. Everything very efficient. Cramped waiting area but I didn't wait long. Nice reception staff. Great Cardiologist called Hana who was warm, took her time, was reassuring, knew her heart stuff, and I felt I was in expert hands. Got a very clear report with recommendations within 2 hours. Blood tests are a 3 minute walk away in another clinic but the reception staff walked me there. With this package I also have a consultation with a GP. I thought that would be the same day but they have to wait for blood test results so it is 3 days away. It would have been good to know this in advance but for me this is not a problem. I would highly recommend this service, also it's cheaper than many other offerings I looked at on Google. Five stars.Posted on graham wrightTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A good experience all round.
