Shockwave Therapy

Extracorporeal shockwave therapy for stubborn pain.

A non-invasive treatment that uses targeted acoustic waves to stimulate healing in chronic, stubborn tendon/bursa conditions that haven't responded to other treatment.

How It Works

Targeted acoustic waves, real results.

Shockwave therapy delivers focused acoustic pulses into damaged tissue, triggering the body’s own repair response. It increases blood flow, breaks down calcified deposits and stimulates collagen production, helping chronic injuries heal that have stalled with rest or conventional treatment alone.

Most patients complete a short course of sessions, spaced a week apart, with many noticing reduced pain within the first few treatments.

Questions

Frequently asked questions.

Does shockwave therapy hurt?

Most patients feel pressure or mild discomfort during treatment rather than sharp pain, and no anaesthesia is needed. Sensitivity varies by condition and settles quickly after each session.

How many sessions will I need?

Most patients complete a short course of sessions, typically spaced about a week apart. The exact number depends on your condition and how it responds, and will be confirmed after your assessment.

Is shockwave therapy safe?

Yes. It is a non-invasive, drug-free treatment widely used for chronic tendon/bursa conditions that haven’t responded to rest or conventional treatment alone.

When will I notice results?

Many patients notice reduced pain within the first few sessions, though the full benefit builds gradually over the course of treatment.

Do you accept shockwave patients from Somerset West, Paarl, or Franschhoek?

Yes. As one of the dedicated providers of extracorporeal shockwave therapy in the Cape Winelands, we regularly treat referral patients traveling from Somerset West, Strand, Paarl, and Franschhoek for weekly sessions.
