What to Expect from Treatment
Most patients benefit from 4 to 6 sessions, spaced one week apart. The number of sessions can vary depending on the severity of your condition and how your body responds.
Some patients feel immediate pain relief, but the full healing effect builds over 8 to 12 weeks. Shockwave Therapy continues to stimulate tissue repair even after the sessions are complete. Success rates for chronic conditions range between 60–80%.

Important Considerations
Are there any side effects?
Side effects are rare and generally mild. You may experience:
Redness, swelling, or bruising at the treatment site
Temporary soreness or aching
Tingling or numbness (uncommon)
These usually resolve within 1–2 days.
Is imaging required beforehand?
In some cases, yes. Diagnostic imaging (such as MRI, ultrasound, or X-ray) may be recommended to confirm your diagnosis and plan the best treatment path.
Do I need to take medication afterwards?
We usually advise against anti-inflammatory medications, as they can interfere with your body’s healing process. We’ll recommend safe alternatives to manage any post-treatment discomfort.
Will I need to do exercises?
Yes. Exercise therapy plays a vital role in recovery. We’ll prescribe graded exercises that support your treatment and adapt them as you improve.
