We are thrilled to announce the addition of Shockwave Therapy to our range of treatments.
This innovative technology is transforming how we approach conditions such as:
Shockwave Therapy works by delivering radial sound waves to the site of injury. These low-energy acoustic waves penetrate the skin, focusing energy directly on the affected area.
The treatment increases blood flow, promotes the healing process, and reduces pain, all while breaking down stubborn calcifications if these are present.
During your session, a hand-held device directs focused sound waves to the treatment area. Ultrasound gel is used to ensure the waves reach the tissues effectively.
Your osteopath will tailor the treatment protocol to your needs, frequently checking in to optimise your comfort and results.
Your initial 45-minute consultation involves:
If Shockwave Therapy is appropriate, treatment may begin during this session or in subsequent visits.
The therapy itself involves applying sound waves via a handheld device, using mild pressure and ultrasound gel for optimal delivery. Your osteopath will adjust the intensity to ensure maximum comfort and effectiveness.
If you have any questions we haven’t answered here, or if you would like to discuss your case with one of our osteopaths, you can book a FREE 15-minute call with an osteopath HERE, or give us a call on 01252 449 435 – we would love to help.
Most patients experience improvements within 4-6 weekly sessions, though results can vary.
Some patients notice immediate relief, while others may see benefits after a few weeks. The effects are cumulative, meaning each session builds on the progress of the last.
The MODUS ESWT device delivers acoustic waves into the affected area, creating controlled microtrauma that:
Treatment is cumulative, meaning each session builds on the last. Most patients need 3-6 sessions, typically once a week. Chronic conditions may require more sessions.
Shockwave therapy is well-tolerated, but temporary side effects may include:
Many patients notice improvements after 1-3 sessions, but results vary. The effects build over time, and following your clinician’s advice (e.g., exercises or lifestyle changes) will enhance your recovery.
Please arrive 5-10 minutes early to complete your consent form.
Absolutely! You can design a treatment plan with your Osteopath that includes a combination of Osteopathy, Laser therapy, Massage and Shcokwave!
Summer !!2025-04-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been to meadowside for a few different treatments over the last year. The sports massages are fantastic, and have become a regular treat to help maintain my fitness. Orit is the only therapist I have ever seen who has managed to get rid of my issues with my piriformus and hip flexors so that I can run again. And Emily - through her laser therapy on my foot has helped me get on top of plantar fasciitis. Everyone I’ve seen has been welcoming and friendly. I would definitely recommend anyone visit Meadowside to get treatment for long standing aches and pains or just for some TLC.

Thank you! Nathan Beevers2025-04-20Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Shuffled in. Walked out. Eased my back in a couple of sessions and with useful follow up and advice by email after. Would recommend. Donna Free2025-04-14Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ashely has helped with my neck and back pain, after two sessions I was almost pain free. It has definitely been worth visiting and continuing with regular treatment. Jordan Goodenough2025-04-03Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After seeing a few specialists, I didn’t think I would get results on my issue / pain but I was super impressed with how quickly and how much of an impact Ashley had, right from the first session. Highly recommend to anyone! Jack Schorah2025-04-01Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Best osteopathy I have been too!! As soon as you walk through the doors you're greeted by the lovely reception team who are super friendly and lovely and make you feel settled and at ease straight away . Ashley was extremely knowledgable! I told Ashley about my specific problems I was having with my ankle and discussed its limitations. Ashley really took the time to understand my needs and came to a solution quickly. I received the laser therapy and shockwave therapy. With the state of the art equipment they use it made me notice the difference straight away. If you're looking to become out of pain or even just obtaining that extra bit of mobility then look no further, this is the place. The location itself is a lovely place, easy to find and with loads of car parking spaces available. The venue was clean, radiant and spacious. 100% would recommend! Mark Nayler2025-03-23Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have visited many osteopaths over the years and Meadowside are by far the most professional and well organised. All my appointments were on time and i received text and email reminders. My clinician was Ashley who i immediately got on with and felt in safe hands. He is very professional yet uses relatable language and fully explains his methods. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Amanda Brooks2025-03-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Recently received the latest Shockwave treatment for a long standing foot issue, plantar fasciitis. Ashley was amazing and explained everything as we went along. The treatment was over 6 weeks and well worth the commitment to obtain the incredible results after suffering for years! Thank you all at Meadowside, a definate 5 stars from me 😃 Bob Milton2025-03-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. so knowledgeable
