Shockwave therapy works by delivering acoustic energy into tissue, producing both mechanical effects, such as breaking up calcification, and biological effects that change cell behavior. This can relieve pain and stimulate the tendon’s healing, regeneration, and remodeling process.
It’s primarily used to treat tendinopathies, including plantar fasciitis (with or without heel spur), Achilles tendonitis, medial or lateral epicondylitis (golfer’s or tennis elbow), patellar tendonitis (jumper’s knee), rotator cuff tendonitis (with or without calcification), greater trochanter pain syndrome, and adductor or hamstring tendinopathies. Research reports success rates in the range of 70 to 95 percent, depending on the condition being treated.
Shockwave therapy is available at select Eramosa clinics — ask our team when booking to confirm a location near you.

What to expect from Shockwave Therapy at Eramosa
Path to Improved Health is the framework every Eramosa patient follows. We’ve used it to guide assessment, treatment, and recovery since 1997 — and it’s how we make sure nothing about your child’s care is left to chance.
Shockwave sessions are short, and most patients complete their course of treatment within a few weeks.
Your treatment session
Sessions are short, usually 15 to 20 minutes. Some discomfort during treatment is normal but should be tolerable, and many patients report immediate pain relief afterward.
A structured course of care
Most conditions are treated with 4 to 6 sessions, though this varies by condition. Tissue healing and pain relief typically begin within 72 hours of a treatment, with full resolution usually occurring within 3 to 5 sessions, up to a maximum of 6 for most conditions.
Recovery after treatment
Your body continues the healing process for 2 to 3 months after treatment ends. We encourage you to continue your home exercise program during this time to support maximum recovery and help prevent recurrence.
