Shockwave Therapy
What is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses acoustic waves to promote healing in musculoskeletal conditions. This advanced therapy stimulates blood circulation, accelerates tissue repair, and alleviates pain, making it an effective option for various injuries and chronic pain conditions.
How It Works
During a shockwave therapy session, a device generates high-energy sound waves that are directed to the affected area. These waves encourage the body’s natural healing processes by:
- Increasing Blood Flow: Enhanced circulation helps deliver essential nutrients and oxygen to damaged tissues.
- Stimulating Cellular Repair: The shockwaves promote the regeneration of cells and the formation of new blood vessels.
- Reducing Pain: The therapy can interrupt pain signals and decrease inflammation, leading to significant relief.
Conditions Treated
Shockwave therapy is beneficial for a range of conditions, including:
- Tendinitis (e.g., Achilles, tennis/golfers elbow, patella, hamstring, gluteal, shoulder)
- Plantar fasciitis
- Calcific tendonitis
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
- Trigger finger
- Heel spurs
- Stress fractures or non-union fractures
- Spasticity post stroke
