What is shockwave therapy?

Shockwave therapy or extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) is an innovative,

cost-effective, evidence-based treatment for tendon pain (often known as tendinitis

or tendinopathy) and other conditions throughout the body. Extracorporeal means

outside of the body.

The main benefits of shockwave are pain relief and restoration of function. Shockwave

therapy has been shown to be an effective treatment modality for a range of common

tendon complaints including plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy and tennis elbow.

Shockwave therapy is a safe, non-invasive treatment with convincing evidence for its

effectiveness from a large body of research and clinical trials. There are now multiple,

randomised, double-blinded clinical trials that support the use of shockwave therapy

for plantar fasciitis, lateral epicondylitis, and calcific tendinitis of the shoulder.

What is shockwave therapy used for?
Shockwave therapy is an effective treatment modality for a variety of lower and upper

limb conditions. These include:

Bone injuries – Shin splints (MTSS), stress fractures and non-union fractures
Calcific tendinopathy
Tennis elbow (common extensor tendinopathy)
Golfer’s elbow (common flexor tendinopathy)
Greater trochanteric pain syndrome (also referred to as gluteus medius tendinopathy

and/or trochanteric bursitis)
Proximal Hamstring Tendinopathy (also referred to as high hamstring tendinopathy,

or hamstring origin tendinopathy)
Patella tendinopathy
Insertional Achilles tendinopathy
Mid-portion Achilles tendinopathy
Plantar fasciitis

How does shockwave therapy work?
This is sometimes known as its ‘mechanism of action’. Shockwave therapy uses a specialist

device to deliver acoustic energy through the skin to the injured part of the body. The

shockwaves are mechanical and not electric. They are audible, low-energy sound waves,

which increase the blood flow to the injured area.

Shockwave therapy has two main modes of action which will help with persistent tendon

pain. First the shockwaves work to desensitise nerve endings which will often give an

immediate reduction in pain. Secondly, and often most importantly, the shockwaves

cause controlled micro-trauma (microscopic damage) to the tissues which encourages

the body to respond by increasing the blood circulation and metabolism in the affected

area. This will activate and accelerate the body’s own healing response. The

shockwaves can also ‘breakdown’ disorganised tissue and calcifications.

Shockwave with high energy peak used in Shockwave therapy interact with tissue causing overall medical effects of accelerated
tissue repair and cell growth, analgesia and mobility restoration. All the processes mentioned in this section are typically
employed simultaneously and are used to treat chronic, sub-acute and acute (advanced users only) conditions.
