Trusted by the best, accessible to all
Shockwave therapy is a proven, non-invasive treatment option that accelerates healing and provides pain relief, especially for chronic musculoskeletal conditions.”
— British Journal of Sports Medicine
What is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy machines pass short, intense energy sound waves into affected tissues. This causes microtrauma, increases blood flow and stimulates an acute inflammatory response which aids the healing process.
Shockwave therapy machines are widely used in physiotherapy, podiatry, sports medicine, urology and orthopaedics to provide fast pain relief and increased mobility. ESWT (Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy) is increasingly used as a treatment for health problems such as erectile dysfunction, slow-healing wounds, cellulite and neurological conditions.
Shockwave therapy has both NICE guidance and FDA approval for a large number of indications. If delivered by qualified therapists, the treatment is largely risk and side-effect-free, making it a safe treatment choice for musculoskeletal conditions and chronic pain. Shockwave therapy is a highly trusted treatment modality, and is used by thousands of private clinics and NHS hospitals across the UK.

Focused vs Radial Shockwave Therapy
How much do shockwave therapy treatments cost?
The cost of shockwave therapy varies from clinic to clinic and depending on the exact type of shockwave treatment required and if the therapy is combined with other treatments. As a general guide shockwave therapy ESWT sessions start anywhere from about £60-£100 per session, with a lot offering discounts the more sessions you book.
Some types of extracorporeal shockwave therapy are also available on the NHS, although the waiting list for treatment can be long.
What are the Biological Effects of Shockwave Therapy?
The therapeutic effects of shockwaves on the musculoskeletal system for pain relief and healing are based on host cellular and molecular mechanisms. Scientists fully recognise the valuable effects of shockwave treatments and how they trigger direct action adequately.
