Shockwave Therapy
Radial Shockwave Therapy is an evidence-based, non-invasive treatment designed to accelerate healing, reduce pain, and restore movement in a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions.
It is particularly effective for persistent or chronic issues that have not fully responded to other forms of care.
Shockwave Therapy uses high-energy acoustic waves that are applied to injured or painful tissues. These sound waves stimulate the body’s natural healing processes by:
Increasing local blood flow and circulation
Stimulating cellular repair and tissue regeneration
Reducing pain by influencing nerve signalling
Breaking down calcifications and scar tissue
Improving tissue elasticity and function
Unlike surgical or injection-based treatments, Shockwave Therapy is non-invasive, requires no downtime, and is typically delivered in short treatment sessions.
Shockwave Therapy is commonly used to treat a wide range of musculoskeletal and soft tissue conditions, including:
Plantar fasciitis
Achilles tendinopathy
Patellar tendinopathy (jumper’s knee)
Shoulder tendinopathies, including rotator cuff pain and calcific tendonitis
Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis)
Golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis)
Hip pain related to tendinopathy or bursitis
Shin splints
Chronic muscular trigger points
Myofascial pain syndromes ... and many more conditions.
It is especially helpful for long-standing pain, overuse injuries, and slow-to-heal conditions, and can be an excellent addition to a broader rehabilitation or Chiropractic care plan.
At Elemental Health, we use the EMS DolorClast Radial Shockwave System, widely regarded as the gold standard in Shockwave Therapy and considered to be one of the most advanced and clinically proven devices available today. This system is trusted by healthcare professionals worldwide and supported by extensive scientific research.
Key benefits of the EMS DolorClast include:
Consistent, precise energy delivery for optimal treatment outcomes
Excellent patient comfort and tolerance
Proven effectiveness in both acute and chronic conditions
Faster recovery times and improved functional results
By investing in this technology, we are able to deliver high-quality, effective Shockwave treatments tailored to each individual’s needs.
Shockwave Therapy is usually delivered over a short series of sessions, depending on your condition and response to treatment. Most patients tolerate treatment well, and many notice improvements in pain and mobility within a few sessions.
Shockwave Therapy can be offered as a standalone treatment or combined with Chiropractic care, rehabilitation exercises, and manual therapy to maximise results.
