Shockwave Therapy in Banstead, Surrey
Shockwave Therapy is a regenerative treatment, meaning it does more than temporarily reduce pain. It actively stimulates the body’s natural healing process so damaged tissue can repair itself and recover properly.
What Is Shockwave Therapy ?
Shockwave therapy uses sound waves delivered into the affected tissues to stimulate your body’s own healing process. These waves help:
- increase blood flow
- stimulate cell regeneration
- break down scar tissue or calcium build-up
- reduce pain and inflammation
Unlike injections or surgery, shockwave therapy encourages your body to recover naturally and helps you get back to the activities you enjoy, faster.
Radial vs Focused Shockwave Therapy
At Body Zest we use two types of shockwave treatment so we can tailor therapy to your needs.
Radial Shockwave Therapy
This sends waves that spread over a wider area. It is ideal for treating large muscle groups and surface-level tendon problems such as plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow and shoulder pain.
Focused Shockwave Therapy
This penetrates deeper into tissues and is perfect for chronic or specific issues, such as deep tendon problems, chronic injuries and pinpoint pain in areas like the Achilles or hamstring tendon.
Conditions Shockwave Therapy Can Help
Shockwave therapy is effective for a range of musculoskeletal conditions, including:
- plantar fasciitis and heel pain
- Achilles tendonitis
- tennis or golfer’s elbow
- shoulder tendinopathy and rotator cuff injuries
- hip or gluteal pain
- hamstring and patellar tendon injuries
- chronic muscle tightness or trigger points
Many people come to us after months or years of pain that has not improved with other treatments and find shockwave therapy finally helps them move better.
What To Expect From Treatment
A typical course involves weekly sessions lasting around 15 minutes. Most people describe the sensation as mildly uncomfortable but very tolerable. There is no downtime, so you can carry on with your normal activities straight after treatment.
Some patients notice improvement after the first session, with the best results usually appearing over the following weeks as your body continues its natural healing process.
