Non-Invasive Treatment for Nerve, Muscle & Joint Pain
Searching for “long-term pain relief without surgery” or “shockwave therapy near me”? Our Drogheda clinic uses advanced ESWT technology to treat stubborn neuropathic, muscular, and joint pain—no needles, no downtime, and proven results.
Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy
Focused Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy sound waves to target specific areas of the body for therapeutic purposes. It is a specialised form of shockwave therapy that delivers concentrated acoustic waves to deeper tissues.
Therapeutic Principles of Focused ESWT
- Targeted energy delivery: Focused ESWT uses a cone of crystals to concentrate energy into a specific focal point.
- Deep tissue penetration: The focused waves can reach depths of up to 12 cm without losing power.
- Stimulation of healing: The acoustic waves promote tissue regeneration and blood flow.
- Pain modulation: The therapy helps desensitise nerve endings, reducing pain.

How ESWT Works: Science Made Simple
Step 1: Targeted Acoustic Waves
High-energy soundwaves penetrate deep into damaged tissues, stimulating your body’s natural healing by:
- Breaking down scar tissue and calcifications (e.g., heel spurs)
- Increasing blood flow to starved muscles/nerves
- Resetting pain signals for lasting relief
Step 2: Osteopathic Precision
Unlike generic clinics, our Drogheda osteopathic expertise enhances ESWT with:
- Posture assessments to fix imbalances causing pain
- Hands-on adjustments for stiff joints or misaligned hips
- Personalised rehab plans (exercises + ergonomic tips)
Step 3: Fast, Comfortable Sessions
- 30 minutes/session – pop in during lunch breaks!
- 5–8 treatments spaced weekly
- Zero recovery time – drive, work, exercise immediately
