Shockwave Therapy – at The Back and Body Clinic: Fast and Effective Pain Relief

Radial pulse wave therapy (also known as Shockwave therapy) is a non-invasive, clinically proven treatment used at The Back and Body Clinic to accelerate healing, reduce pain, and restore function, especially in chronic injuries that haven’t responded as expected to other treatments. 

This modern treatment stimulates your body’s natural repair processes, offering long-term relief without medication or surgery.

What Is Radial Pulse Wave Therapy?

Radial pulse wave therapy (a form of extracorporeal therapy) uses high-frequency acoustic waves that penetrate the skin and soft tissues to improve blood circulation, break down scar tissue, and promote tissue regeneration.

Unlike focused shockwaves, radial pulse waves disperse pressure over a wider area, making them ideal for treating superficial and medium-depth soft tissue injuries.

Conditions Treated with Radial Pulse Wave Therapy

At The Back and Body Clinic, we successfully use radial pulse wave therapy to treat a wide range of musculoskeletal injuries, including:

• Plantar fasciitis 
• Achilles tendinopathy
• Patellar tendinopathy
• Tennis and golfer’s elbow
• Rotator cuff tendinopathy (including calcific tendonitis)
• Hamstring tendinopathy
• Myofascial trigger points

The Evidence Behind Radial Pulse Wave Therapy

Recent clinical research supports the use of radial pulse wave therapy for a range of tendon and soft tissue conditions:

• Studies show significant pain reduction and improved function in patients with plantar fasciitis, rotator cuff injuries, and chronic tendinopathies.
• Radial pulse wave therapy is widely used in NHS clinics and elite sports settings for its safety, effectiveness, and long-term benefits.
• It is especially useful when traditional physiotherapy/ Osteopathy and rest have not resolved the problem.

Most treatment plans involve 3–6 sessions, usually spaced one week apart. Many patients report noticeable improvements within a few weeks.
