We are pleased to announce that we can now offer Shockwave therapy at Rothwell Physiotherapy
Shockwave therapy, or extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT), is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate healing in damaged tissues
This type of therapy can help conditions such as
Planter fasciitis (including heel spur),
Calcific tendonitis of shoulder,
Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis),
Golfers elbow (medial epicondylitis),
Patellar tendonitis,
Refractory proximal hamstring tendinopathy,
Achilles tendonitis and
Refractory greater trochanteric pain syndrome
A course of treatment typically involves 4 to 6 sessions, with about a week between each session.
The duration and number of sessions needed depend on the condition being treated and progress made.
You will need to check with your Health Insurance Company if they will cover this treatment before you attend a treatment session,
However if you are Self-funding we can book you straight in for Assessment and treatment.
Shockwave treatment is £50 per session
