Here at Stimulis Osteopathy (Truro, Cornwall) we provide the unique radial shockwave therapy (R ESWT). This unique therapy is rare within the Cornwall county. 

Shockwave therapy can help address stubborn and chronic musculoskeletal presentations (lasting over 3 months) that do not respond to traditional treatments (Osteopathy, Acupuncture, Exercise Therapy, Sports Massage, Hot & Cold Therapies, Pain Killers). 

It is often required to have between 3 - 8 treatments of ESWT (1 session per week) to address the symptoms associated with your presentation. 

What presentations can ESWT help with: 

Tendon Issues (achilles, wrist extensors and flexors, hamstrings, quadriceps & rotator cuff tendons (shoulder)). These maybe recognised through names such as:

- Achilles Tendinopathy 

- Runners Knee 

- Jumpers Knee 

- Tennis Elbow

- Greater Trochanteric Pain also known as Hip Pain (Not always tendon related)

Other presentations shockwave therapy can help treat are:

- Plantar Fasciitis

- Chronic Lower Back Pain 

- Mild - Moderate Symptoms Associated with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

- Frozen Shoulder.

Although ESWT is a safe form of therapy it isn't for everyone so please get in contact to see if this is suitable for you.
