Shockwave Therapy
Fast, Effective Healing With Shockwave Therapy At Louth Physio
If you’ve been struggling with stubborn tendon or muscle pain that won’t settle, Shockwave Therapy could be the breakthrough you need. This non-invasive treatment uses high-energy sound waves to restart your body’s natural healing process — often where rest, exercise, or medication have failed.
What Is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave Therapy delivers controlled acoustic pulses into injured tissue. These waves increase blood flow and metabolism, break down calcifications and scar tissue, trigger the body to regenerate healthy collagen, and reduce pain and inflammation.
Common Conditions We Treat
• Achilles tendinopathy
• Plantar fasciitis / heel pain
• Tennis elbow / Golfer’s elbow
• Patellar tendon (jumper’s knee)
• Shoulder calcific tendinopathy
• Shin splints
• Chronic muscle tightness or trigger points

Radial Vs Focused Shockwave
Not all shockwave is the same. At Louth Physio, we use both radial and focused shockwave, depending on the depth of the tissue involved and the nature of the condition.
Radial Shockwave
Radial shockwave spreads energy over a broader area and is best suited to more superficial tissues.
It is commonly used where a wider treatment zone is helpful or where tissues are closer to the surface.
Focused Shockwave
Focused shockwave delivers energy to a precise point and can reach deeper tissues.
It is often used for deeper, long-standing, or more stubborn tendon conditions where accuracy and depth matter.
