Non-surgical treatments for musculoskeletal pain
If you are living with persistent pain, injury or arthritis and want to explore your options before considering surgery, non-surgical musculoskeletal treatments may help. Our approach is to assess your problem carefully, identify the likely source of your pain, and tailor treatment to your individual needs, with the aim of reducing pain and improving function. The most suitable treatment depends on your diagnosis — not every treatment suits every condition, and this is discussed with you at consultation.

Non-invasive Tendon Treatment
Focused Shockwave Therapy (ESWT)
Focused shockwave therapy (ESWT) delivers focused acoustic pressure waves to injured tendon and soft tissue. It is used for chronic tendinopathies such as plantar fasciitis, rotator cuff and elbow tendinopathy that have not settled with conservative care.
