Focused Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave therapy uses controlled acoustic pressure waves to create a mechanical stimulus in targeted tissue. The focused variant used at K+Clinic concentrates its energy at a specific tissue depth — 6 to 12 cm — which distinguishes it from the lower-power radial shockwave devices found in many physiotherapy clinics. This depth capability allows direct treatment of deep tendon insertions, fascial planes, and bony attachment points that radial devices…

The biological mechanisms are well-studied: shockwave application increases local blood flow and angiogenesis, disperses calcium deposits (particularly relevant in calcific tendinitis), disrupts abnormal scar-tissue organisation in chronic tendinopathies, and stimulates tenocyte and collagen regeneration. For chronic conditions where conservative physiotherapy and anti-inflammatory treatment have produced limited benefit, focused shockwave represents an…

At K+Clinic, shockwave is administered by a trained physiotherapist following a clinical assessment. The session begins with identification of the target area using palpation and, where relevant, cross-reference with prior ultrasound or imaging. The device head is applied to the skin with gel coupling, and a series of focused pulses is delivered to the focal zone. Most patients feel a deep pressure sensation during treatment; some experience brief sharp…
