Why Focused Shockwave is Different - And More Effective

Most clinics use radial shockwave, which treats surface-level pain. At NK Physio, we’re the only clinic in South Lanarkshire offering Focused Shockwave Therapy, a more advanced technology that delivers precise, high-energy sound waves deep into your tissue.

This allows us to:

  • Treat chronic or deep-rooted pain others can’t reach

  • Stimulate healing at a cellular level

  • Break down scar tissue or calcification

  • Reduce inflammation

  • Speed up recovery from long-term issues

Whether you’re managing tendon pain, bursitis, or even early-stage arthritis, Focused Shockwave can deliver results similar to (or better than) injections – without the side effects or recovery time.

What Can Focused Shockwave Help with?

We regularly see excellent results for:

Hip Gluteal Tendinopathy & Bursitis – reduce pain on the outside of the hip

Knee Osteoarthritis – ease stiffness and promote joint repair

Achilles Tendinopathy & Plantar Fasciitis – get back to walking or running

Shoulder Calcification – restore range and reduce pain

Shin Splints – improve loading and return to sport

Stress Fractures – accelerate bone healing

Tennis/Golfer’s Elbow – ease gripping or lifting pain

Why Choose NK Physio?

Whether you’re frustrated with ongoing pain, trying to avoid another injection, or simply want to get better faster – Focused Shockwave Therapy could be exactly what your recovery needs.

What to Expect

  • A full physio-led assessment to confirm if shockwave is right for you
  • Treatment sessions last around 20 minutes, once per week
  • Results often felt within 2–3 sessions
  • No injections, no downtime, no invasive procedures
