Shockwave Therapy for Burwood Residents

Burwood sits immediately east of Ashfield, making Pro Health Clinic one of the most accessible health services for the entire Burwood community. The suburb has grown significantly with apartment development along Burwood Road, bringing with it a large population of young families and professionals who value nearby quality healthcare. For most of Burwood, our Ashfield clinic is closer than most alternatives.

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.
