What Is Multi-Area Focused Shockwave Therapy?

Multi-Area Focused Shockwave Therapy is designed for individuals experiencing pain or dysfunction in more than one region of the body. This 30-minute session allows your clinician to treat two or more anatomical areas in the same visit, using advanced focused shockwave technology.

Whether you’re recovering from sports injuries, managing chronic pain in different joints, or experiencing long-term strain across both sides of the body, this session provides a comprehensive and time-efficient solution β€” without surgery or injections.

At UK Pain Clinic, we treat multiple pain sources in one session using deep-penetration acoustic waves that trigger the body’s natural healing response at a cellular level.

πŸ§β€β™‚οΈ Who Is This Session For?

This session is ideal for patients who:

  • Have pain in more than one joint or muscle group

  • Experience bilateral conditions (e.g., both heels, both shoulders)

  • Suffer from referred or radiating pain patterns

  • Need maximum relief in minimum time

  • Have already completed single-area therapy and now need broader support

  • Want to avoid surgery, cortisone injections, or long-term pain medications

πŸ“ Areas Commonly Treated Together

Here are examples of multi-area combinations we treat:

βœ… Both heels (e.g. bilateral plantar fasciitis)
βœ… Shoulder and elbow (e.g. rotator cuff + tennis elbow)
βœ… Hip and knee (e.g. trochanteric pain + patellar tendonitis)
βœ… Both Achilles tendons
βœ… Hamstring and gluteal pain
βœ… Lower back and hip region
βœ… Shoulder and neck (for combined movement dysfunction)
βœ… Two areas on opposite sides of the body (e.g. right shoulder + left knee)


πŸ’‘ What Happens During This 30-Minute Session?

Our trained shockwave therapist will:

βœ… 1. Conduct a Brief Evaluation

  • Understand the nature of both conditions

  • Confirm if both areas are safe and appropriate to treat in a single session

  • Discuss your medical history, activity levels, and treatment goals

βœ… 2. Apply Focused Shockwave to Each Area

  • Gel is applied to the treatment zones

  • Using a handheld device, focused shockwaves are delivered directly into the tissue

  • Each area receives a tailored intensity and duration, depending on the injury and sensitivity

βœ… 3. Provide Aftercare Advice

  • You’ll receive clear instructions for managing post-treatment soreness, activity levels, and any adjunct therapies needed (e.g., physiotherapy or exercises)


πŸ“ˆ What Can You Expect After Treatment?

Most patients feel:

  • βœ… Reduced pain and inflammation

  • βœ… Better movement in treated areas

  • βœ… Less stiffness and improved flexibility

  • βœ… Renewed tissue regeneration over the next 4–6 weeks

While some feel relief after the first session, long-term results typically require 3–6 sessions spaced out weekly.


⚠️ Why Multi-Area Shockwave Works So Well

Pain is often not isolated. When one joint is affected, nearby muscles or opposing joints may compensate β€” leading to pain in multiple regions. For example:

  • A shoulder injury can cause elbow strain

  • Knee pain may lead to hip or lower back tension

  • A stiff right ankle may result in overuse of the left side

Multi-area shockwave therapy addresses these interrelated issues, helping your entire body recover more efficiently.

Got questions? We’ve answered some of the most common concerns about physiotherapy treatments, sessions, and what to expect.

Yes. During the session, your therapist will confirm your chosen areas and determine if it’s safe to proceed with both.

Yes β€” this session is 30 minutes to allow sufficient time and focus on each zone being treated.

Absolutely. Shockwave is most effective when paired with tailored physiotherapy, stretching, or strength-building programs.

Some mild discomfort may be felt during application, especially in inflamed areas, but the intensity can be adjusted for comfort.

If you’re experiencing pain in two or more areas, or if your issues are interconnected biomechanically, this service is more efficient and holistic.
