Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave Therapy
in Edinburgh
Target Stubborn Pain. Stimulate Healing. Recover Faster.
Shockwave Therapy at Balanced is used to help treat persistent tendon and soft tissue pain that has not improved with conservative care. It delivers targeted high energy sound waves to stimulate healing, improve blood flow and support recovery in stubborn conditions such as plantar fasciopathy, Achilles tendinopathy, tennis elbow, rotator cuff tendinopathy and greater trochanteric pain. Shockwave is most effective when combined with a guided loading programme, helping reduce pain and restore comfortable movement. Shockwave is delivered as a course of 3-4 sessions performed once a week to gain optimum results.
Don't just take our word for it...
Tell us your goals. We’ll show you how to reach them.
Shockwave Therapy is an effective treatment for many conditions. Multiple studies have found symptoms improved in up to 80% of people with a chronic condition that had not responded to conservative management.
Evidence shows that Shockwave Therapy combined with an exercise loading programme is the most effective treatment, with Shockwave Therapy used as an initial adjunct to settle chronic conditions or stubborn pain.
Shockwave Therapy is particularly effective for chronic tendon issues such as:
- Plantar Fasciitis / Fasciopathy
- Achilles Tendinopathy
- Patellar Tendinitis / Jumper’s Knee
- Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome
- Proximal Hamstring Tendinopathy
- Lateral Epicondylitis / Tennis Elbow
- Calcific Tendonitis of the Glenohumeral Joint / Shoulder
- Hip and hamstring tendon pain
How Shockwave Therapy Help
Shockwave Therapy delivers a high-energy, non-electrical sound wave through the skin to the affected area using a handheld probe.
These sound waves create a controlled healing response in the treated tissue, helping increase blood flow, break down scar tissue, trigger stem cell activation and stimulate the body’s natural repair process.
Shockwave is typically used when symptoms are long-term or persistent, or when other treatments have not worked.
It is most effective when combined with a guided exercise loading programme.

What to Expect During Treatment
Shockwave Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that is tailored to your individual needs.
Treatment may involve:
- A course of around 3 sessions
- Additional sessions for severe or long-term chronic conditions
- Adjustments to treatment if it feels uncomfortable
Some people may experience redness, discomfort, swelling or bruising afterwards, but this usually subsides after a few days.
