Radial Shockwave Therapy

All too often people suffer with chronic pain they are trying to manage, or face surgery that could cause more problems. For many, Shockwave would provide a successful alternative to surgery, if only people knew about it.

In the UK, official clinical guidance for treatments is issued by NICE (National Institute for Health & Clinical Excellence). Their remit is to make recommendation on various treatments that have been evidenced and backed by substantial research.

THE NON-SURGICAL SOLUTION TO BECOMING PAIN FREE

There is now a large body of global evidence to support Shockwave as an alternative to injections or surgery.

The advantages of Shockwave are many:

• It works in 3 to 5 treatments
• It's non-invasive
• There's no risk of infection
• No risk of tendon rupture as may rarely occur with steroid injections
• It has NICE approval
