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.
