What conditions can be treated with shockwave therapy?

There are many tendon conditions that shockwave therapy can help treat. These include:

• Plantar fasciitis/heel spurs - heel and mid foot pain
• Achilles tendinopathy – Achilles heel pain
• Greater trochanteric pain syndrome – hip pain
• Tennis elbow – elbow pain
• Shoulder tendinitis and impingement, rotator cuff calcifications or frozen shoulder – shoulder pain
• Dupuytren’s disease, De Quervain disease, trigger finger and Carpal tunnel syndrome – hand and wrist pain
• Jumpers knee - knee pain
• Hamstring tendinopathy – hamstring pain

Shockwave therapy can offer an alternative treatment option to surgery for some people suffering chronic tendon-related pain. It is a successful second line treatment if you have not responded to conservative pain management techniques including physiotherapy.
