Shockwave Therapy

Radial and focused shockwave for selected tendon and musculoskeletal conditions.

Two systemsRadial and focusedSwiss technologyEMS DolorClastConnected careTreatment plus rehab

About the service

Shockwave is available as a standalone treatment following an appropriate clinical assessment.

Beaches provides radial and focused shockwave using EMS Swiss DolorClast technology. It is not presented as a universal tendon treatment: the diagnosis, condition, evidence and rehabilitation plan determine whether it is a sensible option.

Beaches provides both radial and focused shockwave using EMS Swiss DolorClast technology.

Treatment choice, dose and frequency are matched to the condition rather than delivered as a generic protocol.

Shockwave is usually most useful as one part of a broader load-management and rehabilitation strategy.

Compare the technologies

Radial or focused?
It depends on the target.

Both are available in-house. Explore how they differ, then we will decide whether either has a useful role after assessment.

Radial pressure wave

A broader treatment field from the skin surface.

Radial pressure waves spread out from the applicator and lose energy with depth. This can make them useful when a selected target is relatively superficial or covers a broader area.

EnergyDisperses from the applicator

Treatment fieldBroader area

DepthUsually more superficial

The dose can be adjusted as tissue tolerance changes.
It may be considered for selected plantar heel, Achilles, patellar or lateral hip presentations.
It is usually used alongside progressive rehabilitation rather than as a treatment in isolation.

Dalton and Daniel provide Shock Wave appointments. New patients begin with an assessment so the diagnosis, suitability and treatment approach can be established before follow-up care or a course is arranged.

What happens next?

Confirm suitability

Clinical assessment checks the diagnosis, previous care, precautions and whether shockwave is likely to add value.

Select the approach

Radial or focused shockwave and the treatment parameters are chosen for the presentation.

Connect to rehab

Loading and activity advice are coordinated with treatment rather than treating the device as the entire solution.

Questions

Before you book.

Is shockwave suitable for every tendon problem?

No. Evidence and expected benefit vary by condition. Assessment is important before treatment is recommended.

What is the difference between radial and focused shockwave?

They deliver energy differently and are selected according to tissue depth, target and clinical reasoning.

Does shockwave replace rehabilitation?

Usually not. Progressive loading and demand management remain central to tendon rehabilitation.

How much does Shock Wave treatment cost?

The initial Shock Wave assessment is £70 and individual follow-up sessions are £70. Where a three-session course is recommended, an optional package is available for £198.
