Applications for Shockwave Treatment
Extracorporeal Shockwave therapy is used in many hospitals across the World, it is an effective and clinically proven treatment for tissue injuries and is recommended by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE).
It is recognised by top orthopaedic hospitals and many professional sports bodies, as well as being covered by private health insurers.
If you suffer from erectile dysfunction, Peyronie’s Disease, or Prostatitis (Pelvic Pain Syndrome), then just 6 easy and painless shockwave treatments can change your whole life.
How does shockwave therapy work?
Shockwave therapy treatment involves passing short, intense energy acoustic waves, travelling faster than the speed of sound, into the injured tissues. This causes Micro-Trauma, increases blood flow and stimulates an acute inflammatory response, stimulating healing.It is used in physiotherapy, sports medicine, urology and orthopaedics to provide fast pain relief and increased mobility. ESWT (Extra-corporeal Shock Wave Therapy) is increasingly used as a treatment for health problems such as erectile dysfunction, slow-healing wounds, cellulite and the loss of collagen.Focused Acoustic Shock Wave Treatment is changing the lives of thousands of men all over the World. Men of all ages are benefiting from these technologies, from young men, all the way through to some older men in their 90’s.Our treatment plans are tailored to individual needs, from performance enhancement, through to sufferers from chronic and long-term erectile problems. Shockwave treatment is allowing thousands of men to return to sustained, spontaneous erections without irreversible, invasive surgical implants or surgical intervention.This video link explains E.D. & Shock Wave Therapy – a must watch for all men.

What Can Be Treated With Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave treatment has become widely popular and accessible as it is clinically proven to provide fast and effective results, along with the added bonus of no medication and its non-invasive nature.
ESWT treatment accelerates healing in many injuries and disorders. Clinical evidence shows it to be highly effective for:
Plantar Fasciitis
Calcium deposits on the underside of your heel bone are closely associated with the inflammation of the plantar fascia. Both symptoms can cause a limit in your daily activities. Shock Wave Therapy can treat both of the problems simultaneously and result in a fast recovery and a return to your daily routine.
Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome
Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome typically occurs due to activities placing large amounts of stress through the tibialis anterior muscle. These activities may include fast walking or running. Traditional treatment involves prolonged periods of rest and recovery time, however, with shock Wave Therapy, the recovery time is significantly shorter.
Jumper’s Knee
Jumper’s Knee is an inflammation or injury of the patellar tendon that causes pain and reduced range of movement. This condition may interfere with or even end your patient’s sporting career regardless of their age and is difficult to treat. Shock Wave Therapy offers a simple and immediate solution. Patients feel relief immediately following their first session and in several treatments the cause and the pain vanish.
Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome
With age and use, muscles and tendons in the hip can get overused, or the cartilage can wear down and become damaged. Any of these conditions can lead to hip pain. Shock Wave Therapy can enhance the healing process, fight inflammation, eliminate pain and prevent the need for hip replacement surgery.
Myofascial Pain Syndrome
Myofascial Pain Syndrome is a chronic pain condition affecting the musculoskeletal system. It can cause deep pain, knots in muscles and sleep disturbance. Shock Wave Therapy is effective in relieving pain for sufferers of Myofascial Pain Syndrome after a few sessions.
Musculoskeletal disorders affect the joints, bones and muscles, and also include rarer autoimmune diseases and back pain. ESWT has proven in studies to be highly effective in the treatment of musculoskeletal conditions with symptoms relieved quite quickly after treatment.
Calcific Tendonitis
Calcific Tendonitis, or Calcific Tendinitis, is a chronic pain disorder that is caused by the calcifications of rotator cuff tendons, causing pain and limiting your range of movement. Shock Wave Therapy stimulates your natural healing process by increasing blood supply and breaks up calcium deposits on the tendon and triggers pain relief.Chronic Tendinopathy
Cumulated Micro-Traumas from repetitive overloading can result in Chronic Tendinopathies, such as Achilles Tendinopathy of Hamstring Tendinopathy. Both inflammation of the tendon and damage on the cellular level are successfully treated with Shock Wave Therapy. Shock Wave Therapy significantly reduced the pain that accompanied Tendinopathies and improves functionality and quality of life.Tennis Elbow
Tennis Elbow is a common condition and can affect up to 10% of the population. Unfortunately, the traditional treatment of Epicondylitis involves medication (painkillers and steroid injections), has a long rest period and often needs follow-up treatments. Shock Wave Therapy, on the other hand, provides faster pain relief and cure.Peyronie’s Disease and Erectile Dysfunction
Almost 100% of men tested (without psychological or nerve/surgery damage symptoms) with moderate/advanced E.D. or Peyronie’s Disease reported a significant improvement, allowing for a return to spontaneous, penetrative and sustained erections.
97% of men with Peyronie’s Disease will see successful benefits from treatment with Shock Wave Therapy, this is dependent on normal neurological pathways being intact, allowing messages from the brain to travel down the spinal cord to reach all neurological systems of the physical erectile function.
In some cases E.D. sufferers who have an interrupted or broken neurological pathway, between the brain and erectile function, will not benefit from Shock Wave Treatments because the signals from the brain are simply not reaching the desired erectile function. This broken pathway, may be caused by paralysis or surgical intervention for Cancers, etc.
Current trials using Shock Wave Therapy immediately after prostate surgery or prostate removal are looking hopeful so far… but we will have to wait for the final medical results to draw any of the incredibly positive conclusions we are already seeing from part way through the trials.

What is Shockwave treatment?
Shockwave treatment (also called ESWT – Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy) uses short, high-energy sound waves to kick start the body’s natural healing process and tissue regeneration. The treatment involves stimulating blood flow and creating micro-trauma in the affected area that promotes soft tissue repair, and helps reduce pain and inflammation.
Unlike invasive surgery or injection therapy, shockwave treatment is non invasive and painless.
What conditions can Shockwave Therapy treat?
Shockwave treatment used alleviate a wide range of conditions, including:
- Plantar fasciitis and heel pain
- Medial tibial stress syndrome
- Jumper’s knee
- Greater trochanteric (hip) pain
- Myofascial pain syndrome
- Chronic tendinopathies
- Tennis elbow
- Peyronie’s disease and erectile dysfunction
- Kidney stones
- Other musculoskeletal injuries causing pain and reduced mobility
