Modern Solutions for Persistent Pain
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive, clinically proven treatment designed to promote healing, reduce pain, and accelerate recovery from a variety of musculoskeletal conditions. At Sydney Allied Health Group, we use advanced shockwave technology to deliver targeted energy pulses to the affected area, stimulating tissue regeneration, improving circulation, and reducing inflammation. This treatment is particularly effective for conditions like tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, calcific shoulder tendinopathy, and other chronic musculoskeletal injuries.

What are RPW Shockwaves and How do they work?
Radial shockwaves are introduced into the body by means of a freely moving applicator which can cover the entire pain region. Shockwave therapy (RPW – Radial Pressure waves) are high energy acoustic pulses which aim to improve the metabolism in the region of pain, increase blood circulation and stimulate soft tissue repair.

Clinical Studies suggest 3 to 7 sessions of shockwave therapy for musculoskeletal conditions such as plantar fasciitis, tendinopathies, and calcific tendinitis to achieve a positive clinical response.
Typically, patients begin to notice improvement after three sessions. If a positive response is observed, the course of treatment is continued, with up to a total of seven sessions as needed
No, At Sydney Allied we pride ourselves in delivering the most appropriate, quality, evidence based treatment for our patients. Hence we only charge our patients our standard consultations rates as specified.
The shockwave technology used generally causes no significant discomfort and there is NO local aesthetic required. However some patients may describe their experience as ranging from “mild sensation” to “moderately uncomfortable” but patients report any significant or lasting pain.
For the right candidates, Clinical Studies have proven to be 80 – 85% successful in improving their conditions.
Scientific Research supports the use of shockwave therapy and show high success rates in the treatment of Tendinopathies, Plantar Fasciitis and Tennis / Golfers elbow.
