Radial Shockwave Therapy in Airdrie

Radial shockwave therapy uses a handheld device to deliver pressure waves to targeted tissue. It is typically used as one part of a wider physiotherapy plan rather than on its own.

Who might seek this care?

  • People with longer-standing tendon or soft tissue concerns
  • Patients whose physiotherapist has suggested it as part of their plan

What the assessment involves

Your physiotherapist will assess your concern first and discuss whether shockwave therapy is a suitable option for you, including any reasons it may not be.

What treatment may involve

  • Radial shockwave sessions
  • Exercise-based rehabilitation alongside treatment
  • Education on activity and load

Treatment depends on your assessment. Not every option is right for every person.

What to expect

Your physiotherapist will explain what the treatment feels like and what to expect afterward before starting.
