Shockwave Therapy questions

Is shockwave therapy painful?

We take every care to ensure your shockwave therapy is as comfortable as possible. The treatment may cause some mild discomfort, but most patients report little to no pain, just some pressure during the pulses. Any discomfort is temporary and usually subsides quickly after the treatment.

As well as using a range of hands-on treatments, the Hands That Heal team assess and advise on aspects of our patients’ general long term health and wellbeing, such as diet and exercise.

How many shockwave therapy sessions will I need?

The number of sessions depends on your injury and symptoms. Acute injuries may require 3-6 sessions, while chronic injuries may need 6-12 over several weeks.

Our therapists will evaluate your condition and design a treatment plan with the appropriate number of sessions to help you achieve your goals.

When will I see results from shockwave therapy?

Many patients experience some level of pain relief and improved mobility after the very first session. The cumulative effects become more pronounced with each subsequent session. You should notice gradual but meaningful improvements within 3-4 sessions. Complete healing of chronic injuries takes time, but shockwave can accelerate the process.

Is shockwave therapy covered by insurance?

Currently, insurance coverage of shockwave therapy varies. We offer competitive self-pay rates for those without cover. Many find the out-of-pocket investment worthwhile given the therapy's proven results and ability to avoid surgery.

Who is shockwave therapy suitable for?

Shockwave is suitable for a wide range of orthopedic conditions and injuries, from plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendonitis to osteoarthritis and bone fractures. Our therapists perform thorough assessments to ensure it is appropriate for your specific injury. Shockwave is not recommended for patients who are pregnant, have cancer, or have an infection/open wound.

Is shockwave therapy safe?

Yes, shockwave therapy is very safe when performed properly by a trained therapist. It's non-invasive, drug-free, and avoids risky surgeries.

Our therapists are highly experienced in providing shockwave treatments safely and effectively. There are virtually no risks or side effects.

What can I expect during a session?

After a consultation, your therapist will apply a gel to the treatment area and position the shockwave device. You'll feel a pulsing sensation as acoustic waves are delivered to the injured tissue.

Sessions last 15-30 minutes depending on the area being treated. Our therapists make the experience as comfortable as possible from start to finish.
