Shockwave Therapy Bunbury
Shockwave Therapy Bunbury – Fast, Non-Surgical Pain Relief
Are you struggling with chronic tendon pain that won’t go away? At Spine & Sports Physiotherapy Bunbury, we offer shockwave therapy for patients looking to speed up recovery and avoid surgery. This evidence-based treatment is ideal for hard-to-heal tendon issues, with many patients reporting results within weeks.
What is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave Therapy (SWT) uses high-energy acoustic waves to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. It works by delivering rapid pulses to the affected area, creating controlled microtrauma that increases blood flow, promotes tissue regeneration, and reduces pain.
Shockwave therapy in Bunbury is especially helpful for:
Tennis Elbow and Golfer’s Elbow
Rotator Cuff Tendonitis and Calcification
Plantar Fasciitis and Heel Spurs
Jumper’s Knee (Patella Tendonitis)
ITB Syndrome
Osgood Schlatter’s Disease
Hamstring Tendinopathy
By converting chronic injuries into acute ones, shockwave therapy reactivates the healing response and accelerates recovery.
What to Expect in a Shockwave Therapy Session
During your appointment, your therapist will hold the shockwave handpiece against your skin over the painful area. Treatment usually involves up to 3000 shocks over 20 minutes.
While some initial discomfort is normal, this often indicates the correct treatment area. Most people describe the later stages as a dull ache or heaviness, followed by a feeling of relief.
Patients often experience noticeable pain reduction 8–10 days after their first session. For best results, we recommend 5 sessions over 5 weeks, combined with prescribed rehabilitation exercises.
Is Shockwave Therapy Right for You?
Shockwave therapy is a safe, drug-free option for many people. However, it may not be suitable for those who:
Are under 18 (unless cleared by X-ray for fused growth plates)
Are pregnant (except in specific, approved cases)
Have blood clotting disorders or are on strong anticoagulants
Have had a cortisone injection in the area within the last 6 weeks
Have a pacemaker, tumour, infection, or open wound in the treatment area
Shockwaves are never applied over the eyes, lungs, spine, large blood vessels, or genitals.
