Focused Shockwave Therapy at GB Clinics
Fast, non-invasive pain relief for musculoskeletal conditions
What is Focused Shockwave Therapy?
Focused Shockwave Therapy is an advanced, non-surgical treatment used to stimulate healing in damaged tendons, ligaments, and muscles. It delivers high-energy acoustic waves precisely to the affected area, promoting natural tissue repair and reducing chronic pain.
At GB Clinics, we use the latest focused shockwave technology to treat a wide range of musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions — safely, effectively, and without downtime.
How Does It Work?
Focused shockwaves penetrate deeper than radial waves and concentrate energy exactly where it’s needed. This therapy works by:
- Stimulating blood flow and cell regeneration
- Breaking down scar tissue and calcifications
- Reducing pain by desensitising nerve endings
- Accelerating tissue healing at the source of the problem
