What Is Focused Shockwave Therapy?
Focused shockwave therapy is a precise, high-energy treatment that uses targeted acoustic waves to promote tissue regeneration and pain relief deep within the body. Learn more about how focused shockwave therapy works and why it might be right for you.
Unlike radial shockwave, which affects surface tissue, focused therapy penetrates specific structures such as tendons, ligaments, and deep muscle layers.
These sound waves increase blood flow, stimulate collagen production, reduce inflammation and help break down scar tissue — making it an ideal option for chronic or hard-to-treat conditions.
There are now multiple, randomised, double-blinded clinical trials that support the use of shockwave therapy for plantar fasciitis, lateral epicondylitis, and calcific tendinitis of the shoulder.
Curious about the difference between focused and radial shockwave therapy? Here’s how they compare.
Conditions We Treat with Focused Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy is highly effective for treating chronic soft tissue conditions that have not responded well to rest, manual therapy, or exercise alone. Common conditions include:
Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis)
Golfer's elbow (medial epicondylitis)
Plantar fasciitis
Achilles tendinopathy
Rotator cuff tendinopathy
Calcific tendonitis
Hip and gluteal tendinopathy
Knee and patellar tendon issues
If you've been told you need shockwave therapy by a consultant or have tried other options without success, our team is now ready to help.
Why We Use the Piezowave2 System
At Physio Remedies, we’ve invested in the Piezowave2 because it’s widely regarded as the gold standard in focused shockwave therapy. Here’s why:
Pinpoint precision: We can accurately target the affected tissue, adjusting depth and energy for maximum effectiveness.
Improved comfort: The piezoelectric crystals allow smooth, controlled wave delivery with less surface irritation.
Custom settings: Tailored treatment intensity and duration to suit your condition and tolerance.
Clinically backed: Trusted by leading orthopaedic clinics and supported by NICE guidance for tendon issues.
The Piezowave2 allows us to treat deep and superficial structures with greater control and comfort compared to radial shockwave machines.

-
Following a shockwave treatment your physiotherapist will advise that you do not take any anti-inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen, as it will potentially lessen the treatment effect. Shockwave stimulates a new healing response i.e. it is a pro-inflammatory treatment and so we do not want to inhibit this process. If you feel any discomfort following treatment, we advise that you avoid activities that aggravate the pain and you can take paracetamol.
