Osgood-Schlatter Disease Treatment Glasgow | Specialist Shockwave Therapy

Effective Recovery for Adolescent Knee Pain

Osgood-Schlatter Disease is a common cause of knee pain in active adolescents, caused by inflammation and irritation of the growth plate at the top of the shinbone (tibia). While many are told they simply have to "grow out of it," Swiss Dolorclast® Shockwave Therapy provides a safe, non-invasive way to reduce pain and allow young athletes to stay active in their sport.


The Symptoms:

  • A painful, bony bump just below the kneecap.

  • Pain that worsens during running, jumping, or kneeling.

  • Tenderness and swelling at the top of the shin.

Why Shockwave is Safe and Effective:

Contrary to older beliefs, modern research indicates that Shockwave is a highly effective tool for managing the symptoms of Osgood-Schlatter. It works by:

  • Reducing Tension: Helping to desensitize the area where the patellar tendon pulls on the tibial tuberosity.

  • Accelerating Tissue Repair: Promoting faster recovery of the irritated growth plate and surrounding soft tissues.

  • Non-Invasive: No needles or medication are required—making it an ideal choice for younger patients
