Discover Ginkgo

Discover Ginkgo

Ginkgo is a plant, traditionally used in Chinese medicine.

Ginkgo can help prevent the onset of several health problems as it helps improve blood circulation. Improved blood flow paired with the anti-inflammatory properties of Ginkgo has the ability to reduce cognitive decline. This decreases the risk of illnesses such as Alzheimer’s and dementia.

It can also help improve the symptoms of mental health conditions, including anxiety and depression.

Free radicals are formed during cellular processes and can cause cell damage which is part of the ageing process. Ginkgo also contains anti-oxidants which means it helps to protect the body’s cells from free radical damage.

There are many other potential benefits of ginkgo. For example, it may reduce the symptoms of inflammatory illnesses such as asthma.

At Levitas Clinic Guildford, ginkgo is given to patients in drip form by one of our GPs. The drip lasts about 20 minutes, and you can book by calling us on 01483 452555.

Why Combine Focused & Radial Shockwave?

While some clinics offer just one type, at Levitas, we combine both focused and radial shockwave therapy in each session. Why? 

  • Focused shockwave penetrates deeper, making it ideal for tendons, calcifications, and chronic inflammation. 
  • Radial shockwave disperses energy across a wider area — perfect for releasing muscle tension and aiding in muscle recovery. 

Together, this dual-modality approach enhances tissue healing from the inside out. Sessions last 45–60 minutes, giving us time to treat both superficial and deep pain effectively — and that’s why our outcomes are consistently better. 

Benefits of Shockwave Therapy for Muscle Recovery

Shockwave therapy is not only for injury — it’s also a powerful tool for post-exercise recovery and sports rehabilitation. Whether you’re an athlete or someone just trying to stay active, the benefits include: 

  • Faster recovery from intense workouts 
  • Reduced delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS) 
  • Improved circulation to fatigued muscles 
  • Loosening of tight fascia and trigger points 
  • Enhanced performance and injury prevention 

If you’re in Wimbledon, Knightsbridge, or Guildford, our local clinics can support your recovery journey without disrupting your routine. 

What to Expect During Your Treatment

  1. Medical Assessment: Your treatment is led by a doctor, not just a technician. We diagnose your issue thoroughly. 
  1. Shockwave Application: We apply both radial and focused waves in a 45–60 minute session. 
  1. Immediate Walk-Out: No need for anaesthesia or rest. Resume work or training the same day. 
  1. Follow-Up: Most people need 3–6 weekly sessions. We assess and adapt your plan each time. 

Whether you live in Mayfair, Kensington, or Cobham, we provide personalised care built on precision and results.
