Fast, effective & non-invasive
Patellar Tendinopathy
Shockwave therapy has emerged as a highly effective treatment option for patients with patellar tendinopathy. By utilising focused shockwaves, this non-invasive procedure promotes tissue regeneration, increases blood flow, and reduces inflammation in the affected area. With its ability to target the source of pain and stimulate healing, shockwave therapy offers a promising solution for managing patellar tendinopathy. Clinical studies have significantly improved pain reduction, functional outcomes, and overall patient satisfaction. As a safe and well-established treatment, shockwave therapy is rapidly becoming the go-to choice for those seeking effective relief from patellar tendinopathy.
Fast & Effective Shockwave Therapy for Patellar Tendinopathy: Help Relieve Pain and Promote Tissue Healing
Patella tendinopathy is characterised by pain at the inferior pole of the patella. Diagnosis relies on clinical features, and diagnostic imaging may be necessary to rule out other causes of knee pain or confirm the presence of tendinous injury. The exact cause of patella tendinopathy remains unclear, but repetitive overload is believed to play a significant role.
Fast
Treatments are quick and typically take around 5 minutes to 15 minutes depending on the treatment site.
Non-invasive
Shockwave therapy doesn't require injections or surgery and is a great alternative to sterioid injections.
Effective
Shockwave is shown to reduce the average pain score from 8.5/10 to 1.5/10 within four weekly sessions.
What is Patellar Tendinopathy?
Patellar tendinopathy, also known as jumper's knee, is a condition characterised by pain and degeneration of the patellar tendon, which connects the kneecap (patella) to the shin bone (tibia). It commonly occurs in athletes or individuals engaged in repetitive jumping or running activities. The condition is typically treated with a combination of conservative approaches such as rest, physical therapy, stretching exercises, eccentric strengthening exercises, and orthotic devices. In more severe cases, minimally invasive treatments like shockwave therapy or platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections may be considered when conservative methods fail to provide relief. These interventions aim to alleviate pain, promote tendon healing, and restore function, allowing individuals to return to regular activities.
How can Shockwave Therapy help Patellar Tendinopathy?
Shockwave therapy offers a promising solution for individuals suffering from patellar tendinopathy, especially those who have yet to experience success with conventional treatment options or wish to avoid invasive procedures. Shockwave Therapy utilises focused shockwaves that penetrate the affected area, stimulating the body's natural healing response.
​
In the case of patellar tendinopathy, shockwave therapy has been shown to promote tissue regeneration, improve blood flow, and reduce inflammation in the patellar tendon. Shockwave therapy can effectively alleviate symptoms and improve overall function by targeting the source of pain and promoting healing.

Shockwave therapy provides a valuable alternative for individuals who have not found relief through traditional conservative treatments. This innovative treatment option can potentially enhance the quality of life for individuals by restoring mobility, reducing pain, and facilitating a faster recovery.
