How It Works
How Our Shockwave Therapy Works
At Valiant Clinic, we take a patient-focused approach to sports injuries, addressing not just the immediate issue but your overall performance and wellbeing. We create personalised plans that combine advanced diagnostics, targeted treatments, and ongoing support.
Initial Consultation & Assessment
We start with a detailed discussion about your symptoms, daily activities, and medical history to understand your needs. Our specialists conduct a physical examination and use advanced imaging if needed to confirm the source of your discomfort.
Shockwave Application Procedure
A handheld device delivers targeted acoustic waves to the injured area, activating the body’s natural healing response. This focused therapy promotes increased blood flow and tissue regeneration. The treatment is quick, usually lasting only a few minutes, and most patients report minimal discomfort.
Post-Treatment Monitoring
Patients are monitored briefly after the procedure to assess how they’re feeling and ensure there are no immediate issues. Our team provides clear post-treatment instructions to help you get the best results.
Follow-Up and Rehabilitation
Follow-up sessions allow us to check how your body is responding and adapt the treatment if needed. We also offer advice on exercises and lifestyle adjustments to strengthen the treated area and prevent re-injury. Our goal is to help you return to your activities stronger, healthier, and with long-lasting results.
