Shockwave Therapy in North Perth

State-of-the-Art Treatment for all Tendinitis, Bursitis, including Plantar Fasciitis & Tennis Elbow

Shockwave therapy has quickly become one of the most effective and scientifically backed treatments for chronic soft-tissue pain — especially for stubborn tendon and bursa conditions that don’t respond well to rest, stretching, or standard physiotherapy techniques. Here at Leederville Chiropractic, Perth, more people are turning to this advanced, non-invasive therapy to relieve pain and restore function without surgery or injections.

What Is Shockwave Therapy?

Shockwave therapy uses high-energy acoustic waves to stimulate biological healing in injured tissues. These waves break up scar tissue, increase blood flow, break down dysfunctional scar tissue, and trigger the body’s natural repair mechanisms — making it ideal for long-standing or repetitive-strain injuries.

How it helps:

  • Breaks up scar tissue built up over months to years
  • Improves blood supply to the injured area
  • Reduces inflammation
  • Stimulates collagen production
  • Accelerates healing of tendons, ligaments, and fascia
  • Provides long-lasting pain reduction

 

Conditions Treated

Shoulder Tendinitis & Bursitis

Shoulder pain often comes from rotator cuff tendinitis or inflammation of the subacromial bursa.
Shockwave therapy helps by:

  • Breaking down calcific deposits
  • Reducing bursal inflammation
  • Improving shoulder mobility
  • Accelerating healing in supraspinatus and biceps tendon strains

 

Gluteal Tendinopathy & Bursitis (Trochanteric Pain Syndrome)

Hip bursitis and gluteal tendinopathies can be extremely stubborn. Shockwave therapy is now considered one of the most effective conservative treatments for this condition.
It helps by:

  • Improving blood flow through thick, fibrotic tendon tissue
  • Reducing lateral hip pain when walking or lying on the side
  • Enhancing gluteal tendon strength over time

 

Plantar Fasciitis

One of the most common conditions treated with shockwave therapy. It reduces heel pain by:

  • Breaking down adhesions in the plantar fascia and achilles tendons (often the main source of plantar fasciitis)
  • Stimulating healing along the arch
  • Reducing morning “first-step” pain
  • Allowing faster return to walking or sport

Research consistently shows shockwave therapy as one of the top non-surgical treatments for plantar fasciitis.

 

Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis)

Shockwave therapy is especially effective for chronic tennis elbow cases where rest and stretching haven’t helped. Benefits include:

  • Improved tendon regeneration
  • Reduced inflammation in the forearm extensor tendon
  • Relief from gripping and lifting pain

Interesting Facts About Shockwave Therapy

  • Shockwave therapy was first used in medicine to break kidney stones — the same principle later adapted for soft-tissue healing.
  • It can help stimulate neovascularisation, meaning new micro-blood vessels grow to improve long-term tissue health.
  • Studies show success rates of 70-90% for conditions like plantar fasciitis and calcific shoulder tendinitis.
  • Most people feel improvement within just 1-3 sessions.
