What to expect

How it works
Shockwave therapy uses high-energy acoustic waves to stimulate healing in damaged soft tissue. It increases blood flow, breaks down calcifications, and triggers the body's own repair mechanisms in tissue that has become resistant to other treatments.
During treatment
Sessions are 20–30 minutes. The treatment produces a brief, intense sensation at the point of application — most patients find it entirely manageable, and it reduces with subsequent sessions.
How many sessions
Most patients see significant improvement within three to five sessions, typically spaced a week apart. Abul will give you a realistic picture at your first appointment.
NICE recommended
Shockwave therapy is recommended by NICE for plantar fasciitis and is widely used in elite sport for tendinopathy management.
