Focused & Radial Shockwave Therapy
At Happy Feet NI we provide the latest Focused Shockwave Therapy (FSWT) and Radial Shockwave Therapy (RSWT) to help reduce pain, stimulate healing and get you back to doing what you love.
Shockwave therapy is one of the most effective non-surgical treatments for chronic tendon injuries and persistent musculoskeletal pain.
Unlike many clinics that only offer one type of shockwave, we have invested in both focused and radial technology so we can tailor treatment to the depth, location and severity of your injury.
Two Types of Shockwave Therapy
Radial Shockwave Therapy (RSWT)
Disperses acoustic pressure waves over a wider treatment area. Particularly effective for more superficial tendon, muscle and soft tissue injuries.
Commonly used for:
- Plantar fasciitis and heel pain
- Achilles tendon pain
- Tennis elbow
- Muscle trigger points
- Chronic tendon injuries
Focused Shockwave Therapy (FSWT)
Delivers high-energy shockwaves directly to the injured tissue at a precise depth. Ideal for deeper or more stubborn conditions.
Particularly effective for:
- Chronic plantar fasciitis
- Insertional Achilles tendinopathy
- Patellar tendinopathy (Jumper’s Knee)
- Hamstring tendinopathy
- Calcific tendinopathy
Why Choose Happy Feet NI for Shockwave Therapy?
Choosing the correct type of shockwave therapy is just as important as having the treatment itself. We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach.
Every patient receives a comprehensive assessment so we can determine whether focused shockwave, radial shockwave, or a combination of both is most likely to achieve the best outcome.
Our aim isn’t simply to reduce your pain — it’s to help you recover fully, restore function and return to walking, running, work or sport as quickly and safely as possible.
What Conditions Can Shockwave Therapy Treat?
- Plantar fasciitis & heel pain
- Achilles tendinopathy
- Tennis elbow & Golfer’s elbow
- Patellar tendinopathy (Jumper’s Knee)
- Hamstring tendinopathy
- Gluteal tendinopathy
- Shoulder calcific tendinopathy
- Medial tibial stress syndrome (shin splints)
- Chronic tendon and ligament injuries
Frequently Asked Questions
Does shockwave therapy hurt?
Most patients describe it as mildly uncomfortable rather than painful. Your clinician will adjust the treatment to keep it within a comfortable and effective range.
How many sessions will I need?
Most conditions respond well to a course of 3–6 treatments, usually spaced around one week apart. The exact number depends on your diagnosis and how your body responds.
What is the difference between Focused and Radial Shockwave?
Radial spreads energy over a larger, more superficial area. Focused delivers energy to a precise depth, making it better for deeper or more stubborn injuries. We offer both so we can choose the right one for you.
Is Focused better than Radial?
Neither is universally better — they have different strengths. The best results come from selecting the right treatment for the right condition, which is why we assess every patient individually.
How quickly will I notice improvement?
Some patients feel relief after the first session, while others notice gradual improvement over several weeks. Benefits often continue for 6–12 weeks after the final treatment.
Can I walk or exercise afterwards?
Most patients can continue normal daily activities immediately. We usually recommend avoiding high-impact exercise for around 48 hours after each session.
Do I need a referral?
No. You can book directly with Happy Feet NI.
