How does Shockwave Therapy work?
Shockwave therapy is an effective, non-invasive treatment of injured soft tissues, that stimulates the body’s natural healing process.
It can relieve pain and promote healing of injured tendons, ligaments, and other soft tissues.
Shockwave therapy uses high energy sound waves that passes through the body via a hand-held device, stimulating increased blood flow and growth hormones to the area, promoting new tissue growth.
The main benefits of Shockwave Therapy are pain relief and restoration of function.
testimonials
I’ve been treated twice now at Preston’s for different issues and two different physios. Both times I’ve been listened to, helped, supported and encouraged. Both times I’ve had a really positive benefit for my injuries. If necessary I’ll be back but in the meantime if you’re looking for a very professional physio team Prestons Health is the place to go.

What does Shockwave therapy treat?

Some Injuries that can be treated Include:

Is There Clinical Evidence supporting the use of shockwave therapy?
In summary, shockwave therapy significantly reduced the pain that accompanies tendinopathies and improves functionality and quality of life. It has been stated that shockwave therapy has a 70% success rate for tendinopathies (Moya et al, 2018, Dedes et al 2018).
