Is Shockwave therapy painful?

Depending on the site and severity of your condition, shockwave therapy can be uncomfortable.

However, almost everyone can tolerate the treatment.

In most cases, the pain will ease or cease within around 60 seconds, as the machine starts to do its job.

A successful shockwave treatment is all about communication between the practitioner and the patient.

You are free to communicate with your Osteopath at any time if the discomfort is too great.

They can either make adjustments on the machine or discontinue treatment.
