Shockwave Devices: Acoustic pressure waves for tissue and circulation
March 4, 2026 • 5 min read
What the Shockwave Devices is
Shockwave therapy delivers focused or radial acoustic pressure waves into tissue. The mechanical stimulus is used widely in orthopaedics, sports medicine and regenerative practice for tendon, joint and soft tissue complaints.
The waves encourage local circulation and cellular signalling in the treated area. Sessions are short, non-invasive and require no anaesthetic.
We supply both radial and focused units with the applicator sets appropriate to the intended use, plus training on protocol and settings.
What stands out
The points below are the ones clients ask about most often when they are shortlisting this device.

Is it the right fit?
We source, install and support the Shockwave Devices ourselves, so the conversation usually starts with where the device will live, who will operate it and what you want it to do. From there we can advise on the configuration, the accessories worth having on day one and what ongoing service looks like.
If you are weighing this device against another in the same category, tell us both and we will give you a straight comparison rather than a sales pitch.
