Shockwave Therapy
“I’d lost all hope in recovering from 10 months of tennis elbow. Just as I was going to give up on the sport, I found RISE, the team completed a comprehensive assessment of my problem and then started me on shockwave. After 6 sessions, I could do my rehab exercises without pain. I’m now back to playing tennis several times a week. Thanks RISE !! “
Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) is used for stubborn conditions which prove hard to manage, allowing you to return quicker to the things you enjoy. Research demonstrates ESWT can both reduce pain and improve recovery times from chronic injuries.
Shockwave is usually given as a course of 3 to 7 treatment sessions, spaced 5 to 7 days apart. Shockwave therapy stimulates inflammation-a normal phase of tissue healing-which increases blood flow and delivers nutrients to the area, helping the body to begin its natural healing process.
Shockwave therapy can be highly effective for a range of tendon and soft tissue conditions, including:
Each shockwave therapy session lasts approximately 45 minutes. At your first appointment, we will take a detailed medical history and assess your condition to ensure the therapy is appropriate for you.
The treatment is then delivered directly to the targeted area. Most patients can experience minimal discomfort during the procedure
Alongside the therapy, we provide education, lifestyle advice, and tailored exercise programs to help you get the most out of your recovery. Shockwave therapy is always used as part of a holistic, evidence-based treatment plan designed around your specific goals.
