Fantastic treatment, can't recommend them enough. Tom helped with my various aches and joint pain from running and also gave me so much advice for my upcoming half marathon. The staff are all very friendly and helpful and very accommodating- helping to sort last minute appointments and change/alter when needed. I have seen a few different chiropractors at the clinic and they have all been very knowledgeable and explained everything so clearly. Tom particularly has been great and got me back out running pain-free.

Excellent treatment with Aaron, very thorough, and very informative regarding what the various movements and treatment were for, and considerate throughout, highly recommended.

I had one appointment with Jamie after suffering tremendous pain and he totally relieved the pain, allowing me to carry on with my life as normally as possible with my ongoing back weakness. I would highly recommend him to anyone and would totally trust him to help me again in the future.

Tom has been great right from the start. From listening to me and everything I had to tell him in our first meeting. Taking me and my previous (less good) experience with chiropractors into account and seriously considering why I was there. He helped me, that first time and has done for the number of sessions I've had since. He answers all my nerdy, analytical questions and adapts to me as I need him to. He's also not a snake oil salesman, talking himself out of the possibility of a job within the first month if I found I no longer needed him. None of this "oh, look, another problem I'll need to see you for" malarkey. Tom has been honest and so helpful every time. The reception staff at Skelian are lovely, the atmosphere is nice, and whilst not cheap I have never felt swindled. Only understood, because back pain is a universal suffering we can all sympathise with. Couldn't recommend them and Tom more. And I'll soon be in maintenance, somewhere I never thought I'd get to when all this started in February.

Treatment here took all of my back pain in some appointments. Tom was excellent professional and now I feel safe that whenever I have the same problem I have someone to rely on .

I have been seeing Jamie for the last couple of months, and absolutely can’t recommend him enough. I love his holistic approach and looking at the bigger picture to try and piece together the reasons why my neck and hips are so painful. I always feel anxious when having to go to someone different when it comes to my health, but Jamie is so kind, friendly and understanding of people and how they are feeling. We have had some great results so far with my treatment and feel we are making some headway with all my aches and pains. If you are feeling nervous and not sure what to expect, Jamie is the guy for you.

I recently had a sports massage with Brad, due to extended periods of computer use, I suffer with neck and shoulder tension. Brad was able to work out all the knots in my back and shoulders. I have definitively felt the benefits ever since.

Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave therapy uses high-powered sound waves to encourage cells to repair themselves. 

Focused Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave therapy uses high-powered sound waves to encourage cells to repair themselves. Shockwaves have been shown to stimulate bone and tendon healing, reduce inflammation and desensitise nerves.

Shockwave therapy is non-invasive, very safe and highly effective. Research has shown success rates of between 70-80%.

Shockwave therapy has been used for over 10 years. Its increasing popularity is due in part to increased positive medical research and recommendations for its use from NICE (The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence).

Shockwave Therapy can help with:

  • Plantar Fasciitis
  • Shoulder pain
  • Frozen Shoulder
  • Chronic Frozen shoulders
  • Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy
  • Biceps Tendinopathy
  • Achilles Tendinopathy
  • Hamstring Pain
  • Patella Tendinopathy
  • Proximal Hamstring Tendinopathy
  • Trochanteric Bursitis
  • Sacroiliac pain
  • Tennis elbow

What we offer

At Skelian before we offer Shockwave as a treatment,  we need to see if it is appropriate to your condition. You can make an appointment with one of our trained health care professionals to discuss your health and the problem you need treated. 

We’ll give you a thorough physical exam and once we have the relevant information, the chiropractor or specialist physio will then talk you through the plan to help you achieve your goals. If Shockwave is an appropriate treatment may start during that visit.

Benefits of Shockwave Therapy

  • 70-80% effective
  • Fast Treatment
  • Reduce Pain
  • Reduce Inflammation
  • Improve movement
  • Follow up and after care services available

What to expect

The treatment itself is relatively quick and lasts approximately 5-10 minutes. During treatment you should expect to feel some moderate discomfort, however this can be adjusted to suit you.

At Skelian we use a top-quality machine and have highly trained practitioners to help get the best results from the treatment.  

Included in Shockwave session session:

  • Explanation of your diagnosis/condition
  • Reassessment of the condition (follow up treatments)
  • Explanation of how the treatment works and what to expect
