Shockwave Therapy
At Somerset Health Practice, we offer effective pain management through advanced shockwave therapy. This non-invasive treatment utilises acoustic waves to stimulate healing in affected tissues, providing relief for various conditions.
Contrary to what some people imagine, Shockwave therapy does not involve any electric shocks!
It works by delivering impulses of acoustic energy, targeted to damaged tissues within the abnormal tendon, nerves or tissues. This increases blood flow, stimulates cell regeneration, decreases pain and creates lasting healing.

What is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy involves delivering targeted acoustic energy to damaged tissues, enhancing blood flow, promoting cell regeneration, and reducing pain.
It’s particularly effective for chronic conditions such as Achilles tendinitis, plantar fasciitis, and hip pain. Clinical trials have demonstrated its efficacy, and it is widely used in professional sports and approved by NICE, the UK’s medical regulatory body.

Our Shockwave Therapy Approach
We employ both focused and radial shockwave therapy techniques to address a wide range of musculoskeletal issues. Focused shockwaves deliver energy to specific depths, effectively treating deep-seated conditions, while radial shockwaves are ideal for more superficial injuries.
To ensure precision and effectiveness, we utilise the Swiss Dolorclast and the
Origin Wave Focus machine. These are state of the art devices known for their effectiveness, reliability and advanced technology.

Treatment Process
During a session, the shockwave device is applied to the affected area, delivering acoustic pulses that stimulate healing. The treatment is generally well-tolerated, with minimal discomfort.
A typical session lasts about 15-20 minutes, and many patients experience relief after a few treatments.
