Shockwave therapy for Walmley patients
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment for stubborn tendon and soft tissue problems that have not improved with other care. At React we use it for:
- Plantar fasciitis (heel pain)
- Calcific shoulder tendonitis
- Patellar tendinopathy (jumper’s knee)
- Greater trochanteric pain syndrome (outer hip pain)
If you have been living with one of these for a while, it may be worth a conversation.
What to expect at your first appointment
Your initial assessment lasts around an hour. Chris will talk through your symptoms, your medical history and what you want to get back to, then carry out a full physical assessment. You will leave with an explanation of what is going on, a treatment plan and exercises to start straight away. Follow-up sessions last 30 to 45 minutes.
It helps to wear comfortable clothing, such as shorts or a vest top, and to bring any scan reports or a list of medication. Chaperones are always welcome.
