Medical Range · Shockwave Therapy
Professional shockwave therapy systems for physiotherapy clinics, sports medicine and rehabilitation centres. The Globus Shockwave 2000 MED — clinically proven for tendinopathy and chronic pain.
What Is Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy delivers high-energy acoustic pressure waves to targeted tissue through a handheld applicator. These waves stimulate repair, break down calcifications, increase local blood flow and reduce pain through neurological pathways.
The Globus Shockwave 2000 produces radial pressure waves — the most widely used and best-evidenced form in clinical practice. Sessions typically last 5 to 10 minutes, with most conditions responding in 3 to 6 sessions.
How It Works
Acoustic waves create cavitation — microscopic bubbles forming and collapsing within tissue fluid. This controlled mechanical stress triggers growth factor release, collagen synthesis and improved blood supply, restarting the stalled healing process common in chronic tendinopathy.
Shockwave stimulates Substance P release and desensitises local nerve fibres. Many patients notice pain reduction after the first session, with progressive improvement across the course.
Shockwave breaks down calcific deposits in tendons, particularly in the rotator cuff. Studies show complete or partial resorption in the majority of treated patients.
Clinical Evidence
93%
Plantar Fasciitis
Over 90% of patients with chronic plantar fasciitis show significant improvement after shockwave therapy.
77%
Calcific Shoulder
Majority of patients with calcific rotator cuff tendinitis achieve documented calcification resorption.
80%
Achilles Tendinopathy
Strong evidence for significant pain reduction and improved function in chronic Achilles tendinopathy.
3-6
Sessions Typical
Most conditions respond to 3 to 6 sessions of 5 to 10 minutes, delivered weekly or biweekly.

Key Benefits
Who Uses Shockwave
Shockwave is now considered essential for musculoskeletal practice, filling the gap left by electrotherapy and manual therapy alone.
Sports medicine teams use shockwave for the tendon injuries that interrupt athletic careers — Achilles, patellar and hamstring tendinopathy in particular.
Orthopaedic surgeons increasingly recommend shockwave as a first-line intervention before considering surgery.
Shockwave is growing rapidly in veterinary care, especially for equine tendon injuries and small animal orthopaedic conditions. The Globus Shockwave 2000 is available in a dedicated veterinary version.
