Introducing Shockwave Therapy at Seventeen Physiotherapy Clinic: A Revolutionary Treatment for Pain and Recovery

At Seventeen Physiotherapy Clinic, we are always evolving to bring our patients the most effective and evidence-based treatments available. We’re excited to announce the addition of Shockwave Therapy to our range of services—a non-invasive, innovative treatment designed to accelerate healing and provide long-lasting pain relief.

What Is Shockwave Therapy?

Shockwave Therapy, also known as Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT), uses high-energy acoustic waves to stimulate the body's natural healing processes. Originally used in urology to break down kidney stones, shockwave technology has become a trusted tool in the world of physiotherapy for treating chronic musculoskeletal conditions.

How Does It Work?

Shockwaves are directed at injured tissues using a handheld applicator. The waves:

• Stimulate blood circulation and metabolism in the affected area

• Trigger the body’s repair mechanisms, encouraging regeneration of tissues

• Break down scar tissue and calcification

• Interrupt pain signals, leading to immediate and long-term relief
  

Most sessions are quick (about 10–15 minutes), require no downtime, and are performed without anesthesia.

What Conditions Can Shockwave Therapy Treat?

Shockwave Therapy is particularly effective for chronic injuries and stubborn pain that haven't responded well to traditional treatments. At Seventeen Physiotherapy Clinic, we’re using it to successfully treat:

Tendon and Ligament Injuries

• Plantar Fasciitis

• Achilles Tendinopathy

• Patellar (Jumper’s) Knee

• Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy

• Tennis/Golfer’s Elbow
  

Soft Tissue and Joint Pain
