Heel Spurs

Plantar fasciitis

The shockwave provides a decisive improvement in the clinical development of chronic plantar fasciitis (calcaneal spur). As pain symptoms are eliminated, the load bearing capacity of the foot is rapidly increased.

A heel spur is a pointed bony outgrowth of the bone of the heel (the calcaneus bone). They are attributed to local inflammation at the insertion of soft tissue tendons or fascia in the area. Heel spurs can be located at the back of the heel or under the heel, beneath the sole of the foot.

Is even a short shopping trip painful for you? Have you had to give up sporting activities like jogging or hiking for some time? If you suffer from foot pain, you may not have to worry about every step in a short time.

Hip Pain

Trochanteric Bursitis

Painful periostitis of the outer femur. A bursa between the gluteus maximus muscle and the trochanter of the upper femur at the hip. There is a recent paper being published confirming the effectiveness of shockwave therapy and trochanteric bursitis.

Knee Pain

Patellar Tendinopathy

This syndrome is mostly chronic, often sports induced disorders, the pathologically altered tendon section exhibits a relatively large volume. Also known as Patellar Tip Syndrome where the inflammation is a the point of attachment of the patellar ligament.

Shin Pain

Tibialis Anterior Syndrome

medial stress syndrome

Inflammation of the tibial edge can occur due to excessive strain. Anterior compartment syndromes arise when a muscle becomes too big for the sheath that surrounds it causing pain. The big muscle on the outside of the shin is called the tibialis anterior and is surrounded by a sheath. This is called the anterior compartment of the lower leg. Compartment syndromes can be acute or chronic. Medial stress syndromes are successfully treated with shockwave therapy.

Achilles Tendon

Achillodynia

Painful irritation and inflammation of the Achilles tendon. The Achilles attaches the heel bone with the calf muscle and injury can occur with many activities including running, jumping and other impact activities.

Shoulder Pain

Tendinopathy

Recent study indicates 81% success, the therapeutic device is to reduce or relieve pain and to eliminate pain reduced mobility. Are you subject to extreme shoulder stresses or so you play sport? Do you suffer from stabbing pains whenever you try to lift your arm? It is possible that the pain in your shoulder could be relieved without an operation.

Tennis Elbow

lateral epicondylitis

The painful inflammation of the tendon attachment on the lateral elbow can be treated effectively by shockwave therapy. More than 80% of patients with tennis elbow were generally free of pain after treatment with Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy

Golf Elbow

medial Epicondylitis

The painful inflammation of the tendon attachment on the medial elbow can be treated effectively by shockwave therapy.

Cost

Three Session course

The recommended medical treatment is conducted over three sessions. This allows the focused shockwaves to effectively treat the pain centres.

The total cost is at an introductory rate of £500. Payment is to be paid at the time of the first treatment.

The treatment is administered by Paul Morrissey, a registered osteopath specialising in tendon-relates injuries.
