Shockwave Therapy at our Edinburgh & Grangemouth Clinics
If you’re dealing with persistent tendon, muscle, or ligament pain that just won’t settle, Shockwave Therapy could be the solution you’ve been looking for.
Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (SWT) is a clinically proven treatment that uses targeted sound wave energy to stimulate your body’s natural healing process. Delivered through a handheld probe directly to the injured area, the treatment helps to:
- Boost blood flow and circulation to the injured tissue
- Stimulate cell repair and regeneration
- Reduce pain and inflammation
- Promote collagen production for stronger, healthier tissue
In medical terms, SWT can promote neovascularisation (new blood vessel growth) at tendon and bone junctions, stimulate tendon cell activity, enhance tissue repair, and remodel damaged tissue for long-term recovery.
Conditions We Commonly Treat with Shockwave Therapy
- Plantar Fasciitis (heel pain)
- Achilles Tendinopathy
- Jumper’s Knee (patellar tendinopathy)
- Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome (hip pain)
