If you have been living with chronic tendon pain that has not responded to rest, medication, or conventional physiotherapy, shockwave therapy may be the answer. At Connaught Clinic in Frinton-on-Sea, we have seen excellent results with this clinically proven treatment.
What Is Shockwave Therapy?
Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) uses acoustic pressure waves to stimulate healing in damaged tissue. The treatment increases blood flow, breaks down scar tissue, and triggers your body’s natural repair processes.
Which Tendon Conditions Respond Best?
- Plantar fasciitis (heel pain)
- Achilles tendinopathy
- Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis)
- Golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis)
- Calcific shoulder tendinitis
- Patellar tendinopathy (jumper’s knee)
What Does the Evidence Say?
Research consistently shows that shockwave therapy is effective for chronic tendon conditions, with success rates of 60-80% for conditions that have not responded to other treatments. It is recommended by NICE guidelines for certain conditions.
