Radial Shockwave Therapy in Bundoora
Evidence-based acoustic wave therapy for stubborn tendon pain and chronic soft-tissue injuries.
Radial Shockwave Therapy is an evidence-based, non-invasive treatment that delivers controlled acoustic pressure waves into soft tissue. It is often used for chronic pain and soft tissue injuries that haven't responded to conventional care.
These waves help stimulate the body's healing processes, support a reduction in inflammation, assist in breaking down scar tissue and can reduce pain by acting on nerve pathways and cellular function.
Radial shockwave therapy is available at our Bundoora clinic at 2 Noorong Ave, serving Bundoora, Mill Park, Greensborough, Reservoir and Melbourne's northern suburbs. It is most often used for plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, tennis elbow, shoulder tendinopathy and other long-standing tendon pain, and is typically combined with chiropractic care, remedial massage and a loading program rather than used on its own.
Our approach
Increased circulation
Shockwaves encourage blood flow to the injured area to support the healing environment.
Tissue regeneration
Stimulates collagen production and tissue remodelling in chronically loaded tendons.
Breaking down calcification
Assists in the breakdown of calcific deposits and scar tissue.
Reducing Substance P
Shockwave therapy helps reduce levels of Substance P, a neurotransmitter involved in pain perception and inflammation, which can lower pain intensity and local swelling.
