Shockwave Therapy is an innovative, non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy sound waves to promote healing and recovery in damaged tissues. Initially developed to break down kidney stones, this advanced technology has been adapted for musculoskeletal therapy, providing effective relief from chronic pain without exposure to harmful radiation.

How Can Shockwave Therapy Help?

Shockwave Therapy stimulates your body’s natural healing processes by:

  • Boosting blood flow to the affected area

  • Reducing inflammation

  • Accelerating tissue repair

Whether you're dealing with chronic pain, stubborn tendinitis, or want to recover faster, Shockwave Therapy offers a safe, effective alternative to cortisone injections. It addresses the root cause of your discomfort, providing long-term relief rather than simply masking symptoms.

Is Shockwave Therapy Right for You?

Shockwave Therapy is particularly effective for:

  • Plantar fasciitis

  • Tennis elbow

  • Achilles tendinitis

  • Quadriceps tendinitis

  • Shoulder and hip bursitis

  • Shoulder calcifications

  • Chronic pain in muscles, tendons, or joints

If other treatments haven’t worked, Shockwave Therapy might be the solution you’ve been searching for.

What to Expect During Treatment

Your journey begins with a detailed consultation. We'll review your injury history, assess your physical and mobility condition, and confirm that Shockwave Therapy is right for you.

During each session:

  • We use our state-of-the-art ESWT machine to deliver targeted sound waves to the problem area.

  • Sessions typically last 15–30 minutes. While you may feel some discomfort, the sensation is often likened to a deep-tissue massage—intense but rewarding.

  • You’ll receive a personalised exercise program to enhance results between sessions.

After treatment, mild soreness is normal and comparable to post-exercise fatigue. We’ll provide you with an aftercare guide to ensure a smooth recovery.

What Makes Our Shockwave Therapy Unique?

At Haerenga Hauora, we use a top-tier Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) device. Unlike radial or focused shockwave therapies, our ESWT machine penetrates deeper into tissues, effectively treating a broader range of conditions. This advanced technology offers precision and versatility, supporting your recovery journey more efficiently.

How Many Sessions Will You Need?

Most clients achieve optimal results within 3–5 sessions, spaced about a week apart. Your treatment plan will be tailored to your specific needs, ensuring the best outcomes for your condition and lifestyle.

Safety and Suitability

While Shockwave Therapy is safe and well-tolerated, it’s not suitable for everyone. Please let us know if you have:

  • Blood clotting disorders or are on anticoagulant therapy

  • A pacemaker or other implanted medical device

  • A cancer diagnosis in the treatment area

  • Are pregnant

Before starting therapy, we’ll carefully review your medical history to ensure it’s the right choice for you.
