Stimulate healing. Reduce pain. Move with confidence. Persistent tendon pain can make everyday activities difficult. Shockwave therapy, also known as extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT), is a non-surgical treatment that stimulates the body's natural healing response to help reduce pain and improve function.
Shockwave therapy uses controlled acoustic waves to stimulate healing in damaged tendons and soft tissues. It is commonly used for persistent tendon conditions that haven't improved with rest or exercise alone.
Following a detailed assessment, your physiotherapist will determine whether shockwave therapy is appropriate for your condition. At Manor Clinic Sevenoaks, shockwave therapy is delivered by experienced physiotherapists as part of a personalised rehabilitation programme.
