Shockwave Therapy in Oxford
​
When pain lingers for months, it can feel like you’ve tried everything. Shockwave therapy offers a proven way forward for stubborn problems that don’t respond to rest, exercise, or hands-on treatment.
​
At Oxford Osteopaths, we use the Gymna ShockMaster 500 — a machine trusted in top sports and rehabilitation clinics across Europe. It delivers focused pulses of energy into the injured area, encouraging blood flow, tissue repair, and natural pain relief.
​
Common conditions we treat with shockwave
​
Plantar fasciitis (heel pain)
Shoulder pain
Tennis elbow
Achilles tendinopathy
Trochanteric bursitis (hip pain)
​What treatment is like
​
We start with a full assessment to confirm shockwave is suitable. A gel is applied to the area, and the handheld probe delivers a series of pulses — firm, but usually well tolerated. Sessions last around 20 minutes, and many patients feel the difference after just a few treatments.
