Shockwave Therapy is a non-invasive treatment and a great alternative to cortisone injections for pain relief. Using high-energy sound waves, it stimulates circulation, promotes tissue repair, and accelerates healing. It’s an effective option for conditions like tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, and chronic muscle pain - helping you recover faster without medication or surgery.
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
If you’re struggling with chronic pain, stubborn tendinitis, or slow injury recovery, Shockwave Therapy could be the solution. It’s a safe, effective alternative to cortisone injections, offering long-term relief by addressing the root cause of your discomfort—not just masking the symptom
Is Shockwave Therapy Right for You?
If you're dealing with ongoing pain that hasn’t improved with other treatments, Shockwave Therapy might be just what you need.
It is particularly effective for conditions such as:
✅ Plantar fasciitis
✅ Tennis elbow
✅ Achilles tendinitis
✅ Quadriceps tendinitis
✅ Shoulder and hip bursitis
✅ Shoulder calcifications
✅ Chronic pain in muscles, tendons, or joints
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 advanced 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, making it more effective at treating a wider range of conditions.
This advanced technology allows us to target larger areas of tissue with greater precision and versatility, delivering better results for a broader range of conditions.
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.
