Advanced Treatment for Persistent Pain and Tendon Conditions

Shockwave therapy is a highly effective, non-invasive treatment used to address long-standing tendon pain and soft tissue conditions. At BodyBalance Physiotherapy in Hatfield, we offer radial shockwave therapy as part of a structured, evidence-led approach to recovery.

This treatment is typically recommended when symptoms have not improved with standard physiotherapy alone, helping to stimulate healing and reduce pain.

What Is Shockwave Therapy?

Shockwave therapy uses targeted acoustic waves to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. These waves are delivered to the affected area to improve blood flow, encourage tissue repair, and reduce pain sensitivity.

It is commonly used for chronic tendon conditions, where traditional treatments may have had limited effect. Clinical research supports its use in improving pain and function in a range of musculoskeletal conditions.

Our Shockwave Therapy Approach

At BodyBalance, shockwave therapy is not used in isolation. It forms part of a broader rehabilitation programme designed to address the underlying cause of your condition.

Thorough Assessment

Before starting treatment, we carry out a detailed assessment to confirm whether shockwave therapy is appropriate for your condition. We consider your symptoms, history, and response to previous treatments.

Integrated Treatment Plan

Shockwave therapy is combined with exercise-based rehabilitation and clinical guidance to ensure long-term improvement rather than temporary relief.
