What to expect
Assessment first, treatment if suitable
Most patients receive a short course of 3 to 6 sessions, usually spaced around one week apart. Shockwave can feel uncomfortable during treatment and mild soreness afterwards is possible.
- Initial assessment to confirm whether shockwave is appropriate.
- Radial shockwave therapy applied to the affected tendon or soft tissue area.
- Exercise rehabilitation and load advice to support longer-term recovery.
