Shockwave Therapy in Glasgow

Shockwave therapy may be considered for certain tendon and heel pain problems, especially when symptoms have become persistent. It works best as part of a clear plan, not as a standalone quick fix.

What it can feel like

People often ask about shockwave for plantar heel pain, Achilles tendon pain, tendon irritation or pain that has not settled with simple rest.

Common causes

• Persistent tendon irritation
• Plantar heel pain
• Load sensitivity

How we assess it

Assessment checks whether shockwave is suitable, whether the diagnosis fits, what load needs to change and what rehab should sit alongside treatment.

Treatment options

• Shockwave therapy where clinically appropriate

• Footwear or orthotic advice if relevant
