How many shockwave therapy sessions will I need?
Plan on at least three sessions to give shockwave a fair try. A typical course is four to five. Sessions are booked no more than once a week. The exact number depends on the condition, how long you have had it, and how you respond.
When will I notice a difference?
Some people feel relief after the first couple of sessions. For others, improvement comes gradually over the weeks after the course ends, because tendon tissue is slow to adapt.
What affects the result
- How long the problem has been there
- Whether you keep up the loading exercises between sessions
- Whether the activity that caused it has been adjusted
If it is not helping
Your practitioner reassesses as you go. If shockwave is not making a difference, they will change the plan and not keep repeating it.
