Discover the Benefits of Shockwave Therapy at Westside Physiotherapy

If you’re struggling with chronic pain, slow-healing injuries, or lingering musculoskeletal issues, shockwave therapy might be the solution you’ve been searching for. At Westside Physiotherapy, our team of skilled physiotherapists uses this advanced, evidence-based treatment to help accelerate healing and get you back to doing what you love—faster.

What Is Shockwave Therapy?

Shockwave therapy (also known as extracorporeal shockwave therapy or ESWT) is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate healing in injured tissues. Originally developed to treat kidney stones, it has become a proven and widely accepted treatment for conditions like:

  • Plantar fasciitis
  • Achilles tendinopathy
  • Tennis elbow
  • Rotator cuff injuries
  • Patellar tendinopathy (jumper’s knee)
  • Hip bursitis
  • Calcific tendinitis

How Does It Work?

During treatment, a handheld device delivers acoustic pulses to the affected area. These shockwaves trigger a cascade of biological responses, including increased blood flow, reduced inflammation, and the stimulation of collagen production. The result? Faster healing, reduced pain, and improved function.

Why Choose Shockwave Therapy?

✅ Non-invasive – No needles, no surgery, no downtime
✅ Fast results – Many patients report noticeable improvement after 3–5 sessions
✅ Evidence-based – Backed by clinical studies for chronic tendon and soft tissue conditions
✅ Performed by physiotherapists – Our trained professionals tailor each session to your unique condition and goals

What to Expect at Your Appointment

At Westside Physiotherapy, our process always starts with a thorough assessment. If shockwave therapy is appropriate for your condition, your physiotherapist will walk you through what to expect, how the treatment works, and how it fits into your overall rehab plan.

Each session typically lasts about 10–15 minutes and may be combined with other physiotherapy techniques such as manual therapy, exercise prescription, or needling for optimal results.

Is Shockwave Therapy Right for You?

If you’ve tried other treatments with limited success, shockwave therapy might offer the breakthrough you need. It’s especially helpful for persistent tendon injuries that haven’t responded to rest, medications, or traditional physiotherapy.
