Radial Shockwave Therapy in London
Are you tired of suffering from persistent, debilitating pain? Perhaps you’re seeking a drug-free solution that doesn’t involve unpleasant side effects. We are pleased to provide Radial Shockwave Therapy (RSWT), a modern and non-invasive protocol to address musculoskeletal disorders.
In particular, chronic tendinopathies respond well to RSWT. Overuse injuries or old injuries also can also be addressed with the non-surgical therapy.
How Does It Work?
Shockwaves are high-energy sound waves that are transmitted to the affected area to accelerate healing. RSWT increases blood flow, decreases localised pain and stimulates cell regeneration. A handheld device is applied outside the body, introducing energy to painful areas and prompting the body to heal itself.
Areas That Can Be Addressed
The following parts of the body can be treated with RSWT:
- Achilles
- Back
- Feet
- Hips
- Knees
- Shins
- Shoulders
A Highly Researched, Successful Therapy
“There are stacks of research studies showing the benefits of shockwave therapy,” said Roger Reid (Doctor of Chiropractic). He has taken two courses in RSWT and is certified and qualified to perform it.
Our chiropractor, who is himself a runner, is pleased to offer our patients, particularly athletes, this promising modality that may help with many tendinopathy issues and more.
For conditions like Achilles tendinopathy and plantar fasciitis, many people can experience an improvement of 80-90%.
