Shockwave Therapy for Tendon & Muscle Repair
Shockwave Therapy is a non-surgical treatment that uses sound waves to stimulate healing in painful tendons and muscles. Imagine your inflamed tendon or ligament looks like a swollen, red and tender flesh. Shock Wave Therapy works almost like a micro wave. By sending signals to the inflamed region, the energy produced by the waves are converting the inflamed flesh to scar which causes less pain and is getting solid.

Aftercare and Results
After your Shock Wave Therapy session you can return to normal daily activities immediately. Some mild soreness, redness, or sensitivity in the treated area is normal for 24–48 hours as your body begins the healing process.
Avoid strenuous exercise and high-impact activity for two days following treatment. Gentle stretching or light movement can help maintain flexibility and encourage blood flow. Your consultant may advise using a cool compress if mild discomfort occurs, but painkillers and anti-inflammatory medication should generally be avoided as they can reduce the treatment’s regenerative effect.

I have seen Ashleigh Austin on two occasions related to a women’s health scan. She was reassuring, kind, positive and explained what she was doing and what she can see. This really put me as ease as I’ve had negative experiences of ultrasound techs being cold and silent which really adds to your anxiety. I highly recommend seeing her.
