Our Approach to Shockwave Therapy
Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) at Pro Health Clinic is a non-invasive treatment modality used for chronic tendinopathies and calcific deposits that have not responded adequately to conventional physiotherapy and exercise. The technology delivers acoustic pressure waves to the target tissue, stimulating cellular repair mechanisms and neovascularisation.
Shockwave therapy is particularly indicated for conditions such as plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, calcific shoulder tendinitis, lateral epicondylitis, patellar tendinopathy, and greater trochanteric pain syndrome. Treatment is delivered as a short course of 3-6 sessions. Evidence consistently supports its effectiveness for chronic tendinopathies, particularly when combined with structured exercise rehabilitation.
What We Treat
- Plantar fasciitis and heel pain
- Achilles tendinopathy (mid-portion and insertional)
- Calcific shoulder tendinitis
- Lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow)
- Patellar tendinopathy (jumper's knee)
- Greater trochanteric pain syndrome (hip)
What to Expect at Your First Appointment
Shockwave sessions at Pro Health Clinic are performed by your treating chiropractor or physiotherapist. Each session lasts 10-20 minutes and involves the application of acoustic waves to the target tissue using a handheld device. Treatment can be uncomfortable during application but is short-lived. Most patients require 3-6 sessions at weekly intervals, combined with an exercise program.

How many shockwave sessions will I need near Auburn?
Most tendinopathy conditions require 3-6 shockwave sessions at weekly intervals. Calcific deposits may respond more quickly. Your practitioner will assess your response after the first 3 sessions and determine whether to continue. Shockwave is most effective when combined with a progressive exercise program.

Shockwave treatment can be uncomfortable during application — many patients describe a strong aching sensation or tenderness over the treated area. The discomfort is brief and ends when the device is removed. Temporary soreness over the following 24-48 hours is common and indicates a normal tissue response.
