What it is

Radial shockwave therapy delivers focused acoustic waves to musculoskeletal tissue, stimulating the body's healing response and breaking down adhesion in chronic tendinopathies. It is particularly effective for conditions that have plateaued on conventional manual therapy or rest.

How it works

A handheld applicator delivers calibrated acoustic pulses to the treatment area. Most patients feel a firm, percussive sensation that builds in intensity. Treatment is typically tolerable and the intensity is adjusted to each patient.

Who it is for

  • Plantar fasciitis and heel pain
  • Tennis and golfer's elbow
  • Shoulder tendinopathy
  • Patellar tendinopathy
  • Frozen shoulder (mobilisation phase)
Where this is NOT the right answer

Typical treatment arc

4–8 sessions over 4–6 weeks for most tendinopathies.

Where this service fits

  • Radial shockwave therapy is one component of the broader Functional Correction Method — used in isolation only where a multi-modal plan is not clinically indicated.
  • Each session is preceded by a brief reassessment so the treatment evolves with the patient.
  • If this modality is not the right fit for your condition, we will say so at the first consultation.
Frequently asked

Common questions.

Our patient-care team is happy to walk through anything else over the phone or WhatsApp.

Most patients tolerate the treatment well. Some modalities produce a firm pressure or pulsing sensation; we calibrate intensity to your tolerance and your clinical presentation.
Radial shockwave therapy is delivered by a doctor-led clinical team trained in chiropractic and osteopathy. The diagnostic approach, the treatment modalities, and the structural-correction focus differ from general physiotherapy — although both have their place.
Yes, when performed by trained clinicians within the indications. Every patient is assessed at the first consultation to confirm the modality is clinically appropriate for their condition.
