What is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave Therapy (Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy – ESWT) is a high-energy acoustic wave treatment that stimulates healing in damaged tissues. Originally developed to break down kidney stones, this advanced therapy is now widely used in physiotherapy to treat tendinopathies, bone stress injuries, and chronic pain conditions.Â
The three types of Shockwave Therapy to target specific conditions are:
Focused Shockwave Therapy (F-ESWT): Precise targeting of deep tissue injuries, insertional tendinopathies, and trigger points.
Radial Shockwave Therapy (R-ESWT): Ideal for superficial conditions, myofascial pain, and muscle function improvement.
Electromagnetic Transduction Therapy (EMTT): A complementary treatment that enhances the effects of shockwave therapy for widespread pain relief.
The Benefits of Shockwave Therapy
Pain Reduction – Modulates inflammation and stimulates the body's natural healing process.
Faster Recovery – Encourages tissue regeneration and promotes the formation of new blood vessels.
Non-Invasive – No surgery, no medication, and minimal side effects.
Increased Mobility – Helps restore normal movement and function.
Highly Effective for Common Conditions – Achilles tendinopathy, plantar fasciitis, and musculoskeletal pain respond exceptionally well to treatment.

Shockwave Therapy at our Burgess Hill clinic is highly effective for treating:
✅ Sports Injuries – Chronic insertional tendinopathies, deep trigger points, and ligament sprains.
✅ Bone Stress Injuries – Foot and ankle stress fractures, bone marrow oedema, and post-surgery rehabilitation.
✅ Chronic Pain Conditions – Achilles tendinitis, patellar tendinitis (jumper’s knee), and plantar fasciitis.
✅ Post-Surgery Recovery – Accelerates rehabilitation following ACL surgery and other orthopaedic procedures.
✅ Myofascial Pain & Fibromyalgia – Relieves tension, restores function, and improves quality of life.
How Does Shockwave Therapy Work?
Each session is quick, effective, and comfortable:Â
- Initial Consultation – A qualified physiotherapist assesses your condition and determines the best treatment plan.
- Application of Shockwaves – A gel is applied to the affected area, and the therapy device delivers controlled shockwaves.
- Healing Stimulation – The shockwaves enhance circulation, reduce inflammation, and accelerate tissue repair.
- Post-Treatment Advice – Guidance on movement, rehabilitation exercises, and follow-up care.
Sessions last between 5–10 minutes, with most patients experiencing significant relief within 3–5 treatments at weekly intervals.
Shockwave Therapy for Athletes
Focused Shockwave Therapy (F-ESWT) is widely used in professional sports, including football, to manage injuries and speed up recovery. Research by Weninger et al. (2023) has shown its effectiveness in ACL rehabilitation, making it essential for in-season injury management.
