Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave Therapy in Manchester: A Powerful Solution for Pain Relief

Are you searching for an effective, non-invasive treatment to manage chronic pain or recover from an injury? At our clinic in Manchester, we’re proud to offer shockwave therapy — a scientifically proven solution that accelerates healing and provides lasting relief for a variety of conditions.

What Is Shockwave Therapy?

Shockwave therapy, also known as extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT), uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. These pulses target damaged tissues, improve blood circulation, and promote cell regeneration. The therapy is particularly popular for treating musculoskeletal disorders and sports injuries.

Unlike surgery or medications, shockwave therapy is a safe and non-invasive option that requires minimal downtime and delivers long-term benefits.

Conditions Treated by Shockwave Therapy

Our expert team in Manchester uses shockwave therapy to treat a range of conditions, including:

1. Plantar Fasciitis

Plantar fasciitis occurs when the plantar fascia, the tissue running along the bottom of your foot, becomes inflamed. This often results in sharp heel pain, particularly in the morning or after prolonged periods of standing. Shockwave therapy helps by reducing inflammation, breaking down scar tissue, and stimulating blood flow to accelerate healing.

2. Tendinopathies (Tendon Injuries)

Tendinopathies are degenerative conditions affecting the tendons, often due to overuse. Common examples include:

Achilles Tendinopathy: Pain and stiffness in the back of the heel.
Tennis Elbow: Pain and inflammation in the outer part of the elbow.
Rotator Cuff Injuries: Shoulder pain and limited range of motion due to tendon damage. Shockwave therapy stimulates tissue repair and provides effective pain relief for these conditions.

3. Calcific Shoulder Tendinitis

This condition involves calcium deposits forming within the shoulder tendons, leading to pain and restricted movement. Shockwave therapy breaks up these deposits, improves blood circulation, and reduces inflammation, allowing for increased mobility and reduced discomfort.

4. Runner's Knee (Patellar Tendinopathy)

Repetitive stress on the patellar tendon, often from running or jumping activities, can lead to patellar tendinopathy. Symptoms include knee pain and swelling. Shockwave therapy encourages the healing of damaged tissues and reduces pain, making it easier to maintain an active lifestyle.

5. Hip Pain

Chronic hip pain can result from conditions like bursitis or tendinitis. Shockwave therapy provides targeted relief by reducing inflammation, promoting tissue healing, and enhancing mobility.

6. Trigger Points and Myofascial Pain Syndrome

Trigger points are tight knots in muscles that cause localised pain or discomfort in other parts of the body. Myofascial pain syndrome can lead to chronic pain due to these trigger points. Shockwave therapy releases these tight areas, improving muscle function and reducing pain.
