What is radial shockwave therapy?

Radial shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate healing and reduce pain in musculoskeletal conditions. It involves using a machine to deliver these shockwaves to targeted areas, promoting increased blood flow and tissue repair.
What conditions can radial shockwave therapy treat?

Shockwave therapy can effectively treat various conditions, including: Plantar Fasciitis: Chronic inflammation of the tissue connecting the heel bone to the toes. Achilles Tendinopathy: Painful inflammation of the Achilles tendon. Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis): Pain and inflammation in the tendons of the elbow due to overuse. Calcific Tendinopathy of the Shoulder: Calcium deposits in the shoulder tendons causing pain and inflammation. Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome (GTPS): Chronic pain on the outside of the hip.
How many sessions will I need?

The number of sessions required varies depending on the condition being treated and its severity. Typically, patients experience significant improvement after 3-6 sessions. Your therapist will provide a personalised treatment plan during your initial consultation.
Is the treatment painful?

Most patients experience mild discomfort during the treatment, which is generally well-tolerated. The intensity can be adjusted to ensure your comfort. Any discomfort usually subsides shortly after the session.
How long does each session last?

Each treatment session typically lasts between 20-30 minutes, depending on the area being treated and the specific condition. During a session, 2500-5000 shocks are usually administered, a process that takes about 5-10 minutes within the overall treatment time.
Are there any side effects?

Radial shockwave therapy is generally safe with minimal side effects. Some patients may experience mild bruising, swelling, or soreness in the treated area, which typically resolves within a few days.
How soon will I see results?

Many patients experience pain relief and improved function after just a few sessions. Full benefits are often seen within 6-8 weeks following the treatment course.
Can anyone undergo radial shockwave therapy?

While radial shockwave therapy is suitable for most individuals, it is not recommended for pregnant women, people with certain blood disorders, or those with active infections or tumors in the treatment area. A thorough consultation with your therapist will determine if this therapy is appropriate for you.
How much does shockwave therapy cost?

The cost of shockwave therapy is £60 per session. We also offer a package deal of 6 sessions for £300. For more detailed pricing information and to discuss your specific needs, please contact us directly or book a consultation.

Q: How do I book a private X-ray appointment?

A: You can easily book your X-ray appointment through our online booking system. Simply select your preferred date and time, and complete the payment process to secure your slot.
Q: What is a mini consultation, and why is it required?

A: A mini consultation is a brief assessment conducted by our chiropractor. It's necessary to ensure that an X-ray is clinically justified according to IRMER guidelines, prioritising your health and safety.
Q: Can anyone book an X-ray, or are there certain criteria?

A: While our services are open to most individuals, the need for an X-ray will be determined during the mini consultation. If an X-ray is not justified, we cannot proceed, and a full refund will be issued.
Q: What are the IRMER guidelines?

A: The IRMER (Ionising Radiation (Medical Exposure) Regulations) guidelines are a set of regulations that ensure the safety and efficacy of medical exposures to ionising radiation. They mandate that all X-ray examinations are justified and optimised to protect patients.
Q: How much does a private X-ray cost, and what does it include?

A: The cost of our private X-ray service includes the mini consultation, the X-ray procedure and a full radiology report. Please contact us or visit our pricing page for the most current rates.
Q: What happens if my X-ray is not justified during the consultation?

A: If it is determined during the mini consultation that an X-ray is not necessary, we will provide a full refund, and our team can advise on alternative next steps if needed.
Q: How long does it take to get the results?

A: We aim to provide X-ray results swiftly, typically within 24-48 hours. Our team will inform you about how and when you can expect to receive your results.
Q: What type of clothing should I wear for my X-ray appointment?

A: Please wear loose, comfortable clothing without metal parts such as zips, buttons, or buckles. Metal can interfere with the X-ray image, so it's important to choose clothing that won't affect the clarity of the images.
Q: Do I need to remove my bra for a spine X-ray?

A: Yes, for thoracic and lumbar spine X-rays, we recommend removing bras, especially those with underwire or metal clasps, as they can obscure the X-ray images. We advise wearing a sports bra or a similar non-metal alternative if possible.
Q: Will I need to change into a gown for my X-ray?

A: Depending on the area being X-rayed, you may be asked to change into a gown provided by our clinic. This is to ensure clear images and is often necessary for spine, hip, shoulder, or knee X-rays.
Q: What should I do if I'm uncomfortable removing certain clothing?

A: Your comfort and privacy are our top priorities. If you're uncomfortable with removing any clothing, please let us know. We'll do our best to accommodate your needs while ensuring the quality of the X-ray images.
Q: Can I wear jewelry during my X-ray?

A: We recommend removing all jewelry, especially if it's near the area being X-rayed. Jewelry can interfere with the X-ray images.
Q: Can I cancel or reschedule my appointment?

A: Yes, you can cancel or reschedule your appointment. Please refer to our cancellation policy on the booking page for details about timelines and any potential fees.
