Advanced, non-invasive treatment for chronic pain, injuries, and tissue healing.
Shockwave therapy is an effective, non-surgical treatment offered at London Physical Therapy Clinic. It’s ideal for conditions like plantar fasciitis, tendonitis, and calcific shoulder pain, helping to accelerate healing and reduce pain — especially in stubborn, chronic cases.
Shockwave therapy uses high-energy acoustic waves to stimulate healing in injured tissues. It's an evidence-based treatment used to accelerate healing and reduce pain in a variety of chronic musculoskeletal conditions. It’s especially effective for injuries caused by overuse, repetitive strain, or poor healing response. It’s commonly used in sports medicine and orthopedics and is known for speeding up recovery from chronic tendon and soft tissue injuries.
Below are some of the most common conditions shockwave therapy can help treat:
A leading cause of heel pain, especially in the mornings or after long periods of standing. Shockwave therapy reduces inflammation and stimulates healing in the plantar fascia, helping restore pain-free movement.
Pain and stiffness in the back of the heel often linked to overuse or tight calves. Shockwave therapy promotes blood flow and speeds up recovery in the Achilles tendon, improving mobility and reducing discomfort.
These overuse injuries affect the outer (tennis) or inner (golfer’s) elbow, often due to repetitive wrist and arm movements. Shockwave therapy helps relieve pain, break down scar tissue, and encourage tendon repair.
This condition involves calcium buildup in the shoulder tendons, causing pain and restricted movement. Shockwave therapy is particularly effective at breaking down calcium deposits and reducing inflammation.
Pain just below the kneecap is common in athletes who jump or run frequently. Shockwave therapy helps reduce tendon strain and supports collagen regeneration for long-term relief.
Chronic pain around the outer hip or thigh can stem from inflamed bursae or irritated tendons. Shockwave therapy reduces localized inflammation and improves tissue healing, making daily activities more comfortable.
