About London Shockwave Therapy

NICE has looked at this treatment four separate times for musculoskeletal use, and the conclusions are close but not identical. For plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy and tennis elbow it found that the safety evidence raises no major concerns and that the efficacy evidence is inconsistent. For greater trochanteric pain syndrome it found the evidence on efficacy and safety both limited in quality and quantity. Both halves of the first pair matter. Tendon pain responds strongly to expectation and most of these conditions improve slowly on their own, so uncontrolled before-and-after results in this field look considerably better than randomised trials with a sham arm do. Saying so plainly costs a page nothing except the enquiries it should not have had, and it is the only position on this subject that survives a reader who goes and checks.

London Shockwave Therapy is owned and operated by the UNTIL group, which runs 4 private health and fitness clubs in central London and works with independent practitioners who hold clinic within them. That commercial relationship is the reason the site exists, and it is why the disclosure sits in the footer of every page. Where shockwave looks appropriate for your problem, an enquiry goes to UNTIL Health Concierge, who arrange an assessment with a registered clinician who can examine you. No payment passes per enquiry, because a per-patient payment to a clinician carries referral-fee exposure under professional guidance.
