Equilibrium Shockwave

What is shockwave?

Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive administration of high-intensity sound waves. Also known as Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (or ESWT)

A shockwave is a form of acoustic energy and although often likened to ultrasound the two waveforms are very different. From a physics perspective a shockwave is defined as an acoustic wave with a high positive peak pressure, a fast rise time and a period of negative pressure all within a very short time period.

What can it help?

What is shockwave?

Shockwave can help with many chronic conditions arising from overuse, those that are so often difficult to treat with other methods . Typically it is used for tendinopathy ( for example tennis or golfers elbow, biceps tendonitis, plantar fasciitis and heel pain). It may also help with myofascial pain syndromes, intractable trigger points and chronic muscle pain.

Does it work?

What are the advantages?

The reported rate of clinical success is between 75 and 91 percent worldwide for most conditions, however some respond better than others (e.g. plantar fasciitis and heel spurs). During our assessment, we aim to address any underlying causes of the problem to prevent a recurrence. Treatment is cumulative and results are often felt after 3 to 5 sessions, with most benefits usually seen four to six weeks following care.

What are the advantages?

Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment with very few side effects or complications:

A safe procedure, confirmed by NICE* guidelines
Strong clinical results/evidence-based*
May prevent a need to have surgery
No need for anaesthesia
Short treatment sessions lasting just 10-20 minutes

* National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE) Guidelines IPG376 (Greater trochanteric pain syndrome), IPG312 and IPG571 (Achilles tendinopathy), IPG311 (plantar fascitis), IPG21 (calcific tendonitis) and PG313 (tennis elbow )

What are the risks?

What are the advantages?

When is it not suitable?

There are very few disadvantages or side effects to treatment, however some of these may include:

Discomfort during treatment, (however, the intensity is moderated for each client to their individual tolerance).
Pain or discomfort for a few days following treatment due to the body’s inflammatory response.
Treatment may not always be successful, and in this case surgery or referral may be an option. Despite a very good success rate with shockwave, we cannot guarantee results.

When is it not suitable?

What are the advantages?

When is it not suitable?

Treatment is suitable for the majority of people, but not if any of the following apply:

If you are pregnant
If you have a tumour (at/near the site of treatment)
If you have an infection at the site of treatment
If you are taking anticoagulants ("blood thinner")
If you have a pacemaker fitted
If you have had recent steroid injection (within the last 8 weeks)
If you are under 18 years of age (With the exception of treating Osgood-Schlatters)

How long will it take?

Are all shockwave units the same?

How long will it take?

Typically, shorter term injuries will require around 3 applications, whereas long term, difficult to shift conditions may require 5 or 6 sessions. Each application takes just a few minutes.

There are other shockwave units on the market that deliver less energy. Treatment often takes 8-10 sessions with other units, but the higher energy delivered by our device means shorter treatment times.

what will it cost?

How long will it take?

We have created money-saving bundles of 3 sessions, or pay-as-you-go options. See the price list tab for full details.

By purchasing one of our bundles, a course of treatment is excellent value but you can spread the cost by paying as you go along too.
