What Is Shockwave Therapy?
How Shockwave Therapy works?
Shockwave therapy (ESWT) uses targeted acoustic waves to stimulate natural tissue repair, reduce pain and improve mobility. It’s a non-invasive, clinic-based treatment that’s particularly effective for stubborn tendon and soft-tissue conditions. At Birmingham Shockwave, we combine shockwave with precise assessment, ultrasound imaging and personalised rehab to get you back to what you love.

How It Works — Acoustic waves increase blood flow, modulate pain, and trigger tissue regeneration.
