Shockwave Therapy at SCRx
We offer shockwave therapy as part of our evidence-based approach to help you recover from persistent pain and injury. This non-invasive treatment uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate healing in damaged tissues, reduce pain, and improve mobility.
Shockwave therapy is particularly effective for chronic tendon and soft tissue conditions, such as plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, tennis or golfer’s elbow, and other stubborn injuries that have not fully resolved with rest or exercise alone.
Our clinicians combine shockwave therapy with tailored rehabilitation to address the root cause of your symptoms, ensuring long-term recovery rather than short-term relief. Each treatment plan is individualised following a thorough assessment to ensure it is safe and appropriate for your specific needs.
Shockwave therapy works by delivering high-energy sound waves directly into the injured tissue. These waves create tiny mechanical stresses that stimulate your body’s natural healing response. When the sound waves reach the affected area, they help to:
-
Increase blood flow: This brings more oxygen and nutrients to support tissue repair.
-
Break down scar tissue: It helps resolve disorganised scar tissue or calcium deposits to restore normal movement.
-
Stimulate cell regeneration: This encourages the production of collagen, which is essential for healthy tendons.
-
Desensitise pain receptors: This helps relieve persistent pain and restores comfortable function.
Because shockwave therapy targets the underlying biological processes of healing, it is especially effective for slow-to-heal conditions. Most people notice improvements after just a few sessions, with continued gains as the tissues repair over the following weeks.
