Shockwave Therapy Southampton
What is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave Therapy (SWT) is a non-invasive treatment that uses a device to pass acoustic shockwaves through the skin to the affected area. It is effective for treating tendon and bone pathologies. The shockwaves stimulate the body’s healing mechanisms, facilitating the repair of damaged tendons and bones. The success rate for SWT varies from 60% to 90%, depending on the condition. A typical treatment course consists of three to six sessions, spaced no more than two weeks apart. Chronic conditions may require additional sessions, followed by a three-month healing period.

Advantages of Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave Therapy is beneficial for chronic conditions where other treatments have failed or where surgery is not an option. It offers an alternative to surgery, especially for patients with certain health conditions or medication restrictions.
Success Rate of Shockwave Therapy
While a 100% success rate is not guaranteed, research shows a 60% to 90% response rate, depending on the condition. Shockwave Therapy addresses the underlying causes, not just the symptoms. It requires patience, as benefits may take months to manifest, and there is a risk of injury recurrence. A typical treatment plan involves six weekly sessions, with follow-ups as needed. After completing the block, we will follow up in three to four months to monitor recovery. Note that refunds are not available for unused Shockwave treatments, but the balance can be applied to Osteopathic treatments or Sports Massage.
