Shockwave Therapy (ESWT)

Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) delivering high-energy acoustic waves to chronic tendon and soft tissue conditions including plantar fasciitis, frozen shoulder, tennis elbow, and patellar tendinopathy.

Healing Hands Chiropractic offers Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) as a non-invasive treatment for chronic musculoskeletal and tendinopathic conditions that have been resistant to conventional physiotherapy or rest. The treatment works by delivering controlled high-energy acoustic pressure waves to the targeted tissue, stimulating local blood flow, disrupting calcifications, breaking down scar tissue adhesions, and triggering the body's natural tissue repair cascade. At Healing Hands, each ESWT session begins with an expert consultation and movement assessment to identify the primary pain generator and confirm suitability for shockwave. The chiropractor then applies the acoustic probe to the affected area using targeted, zone-specific delivery — ensuring precision over the tendon or fascial structure in question. Common conditions treated include plantar fasciitis and heel spurs, Achilles tendonitis, calcific rotator cuff tendinopathy, frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis), tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis), patellar tendinopathy (jumper's knee), IT band syndrome, hip bursitis, gluteal tendinopathy, and chronic myofascial trigger points. Sessions include customised recovery programming and ongoing lifestyle guidance, supporting the patient's rehabilitation between visits. Pricing for the first trial session is SGD 50 (weekday off-peak, first-time patients), down from the regular rate of SGD 117.72. Subsequent sessions are available from SGD 92.62. ESWT is often combined with chiropractic adjustments at Healing Hands to address both the structural cause and the local tissue pathology — particularly effective for lower-limb and shoulder conditions where spinal alignment and peripheral tendon health are interconnected.
