Focused Shockwave Therapy
Focused Shockwave therapy is an amazing technology that is 1000 times more powerful than thermal ultrasound used in modern physiotherapy clinics and is the gold standard for reducing stubborn pain and accelerating recovery. If you are suffering from sporting injuries, body wear and tear and any medical conditions effecting your movement, then focussed shockwave will enable you to resume a normal, active life.
This technology is used in all our treatment protocols. It emits pain free sound waves at 1500 metres a second to the afflicted area and substantially reduces stubborn pain recovery time.
The focused shockwave therapy stimulates a healing process (angiogenesis). This is the development of new blood vessels in the damaged tissues and the revitalisation of existing ones along with the disintegration of internal scar tissue. Our bodies often struggle to repair, but this process allows powerful, healing blood to reach the areas in need. It also stimulates another process called neurogenesis, which is the development of new and harmonisation of existing nerve tissue.
We have successfully cured many patients who have struggled with injuries or pain for months, ranging from frozen shoulders, torn ligaments, pain in the feet or lower bodies or injuries due to sporting activity. Often our bodies have a healing blockage, that resists change and whilst traditional methods may relieve pain and discomfort or a temporary basis, they are not able to address and cure the core problem.
Focused Shockwave therapy is now recognised as the gold standard treatment for tendinopathy, tendonitis, and bursitis. It should not be confused with Radial Shockwave therapy that emits rays at 100th of the speed and is used more widely in cosmetic clinics
All our shockwave treatments are undertaken by qualified medical professionals with many years’ experience as physiotherapists and chiropractors. They now blend their existing skills and expertise with the most advanced medical technology in the world.
We are the only clinic in the country that has invested in a broad range of top end specialist focussed shockwave equipment across our clinics in Knightsbridge, Central London, and Richmond in Surrey.
Our clients range from past members of the British Olympic team and celebrities through to ordinary pensioners in their eighties. We have enabled runners who never thought they would run, to run again; healed injuries that have caused discomfort for over a decade and brought back hope too people who had been told their pain and suffering was ‘as good as it gets’.
