Non-Invasive, Effective Pain Relief That Gets You Moving Again
Shockwave Therapy is a clinically proven treatment used to address persistent pain and tendon injuries that have failed to improve with rest or traditional treatment alone.
At HD Sports Rehab in St Albans, shockwave therapy is used as part of a structured rehabilitation plan to stimulate healing, reduce pain, and restore movement, helping you return to activity with confidence.
What Is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave Therapy (also known as Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy – ESWT) delivers high-energy acoustic waves to injured tissue.
These waves:
- Stimulate blood flow
- Trigger the body’s natural healing response
- Break down damaged tissue
- Reduce pain sensitivity
Shockwave therapy is particularly effective for chronic tendon conditions, where normal healing has slowed or stalled.
