Shockwave Therapy in Kington (ESWT)
A non-invasive treatment option for certain long-standing tendon and soft tissue conditions
Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) is a treatment used to support the body’s natural healing processes in certain long-standing conditions.
It is commonly considered when symptoms have not improved with rest or other conservative approaches.
At Kington Chiropractic, we use focused shockwave therapy as part of a tailored treatment approach where clinically appropriate.
Shockwave therapy is commonly used for:
Plantar fasciitis
Achilles tendon pain
Tennis elbow (lateral elbow pain)
Shoulder tendon pain
Chronic tendon-related conditions
Suitability will be assessed during your consultation.
Considering Shockwave Therapy?
If your symptoms have been ongoing for several months and haven’t improved with other approaches, shockwave therapy may be an option worth exploring.
HOW DOES SHOCKWAVE THERAPY WORK?
Shockwave therapy delivers controlled pulses of energy into the affected area.
This is thought to help by:
Stimulating blood flow
Supporting tissue repair processes
Influencing pain perception
Treatment is non-invasive and typically delivered over a short course of sessions.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Assessment First
We assess your condition to determine whether shockwave therapy may be appropriate for you.
Treatment Sessions

IS IT RIGHT FOR YOU?
Shockwave therapy may be considered for certain persistent conditions, particularly where symptoms have been present for several months.
However, it is not suitable for everyone, and a full assessment is required before treatment.
