Are there any side effects of shockwave therapy physiotherapy?

Side effects from shockwave therapy physiotherapy are generally mild and temporary. Some patients experience minor redness, tenderness, swelling, or bruising at the treatment site immediately after the session. These effects typically subside within a few days. Advantage Physiotherapy advises patients to avoid anti-inflammatory medication or ice following treatment, as these can interfere with the natural healing process that shockwave therapy is designed to stimulate.
