SHOCKWAVE THERAPY
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses acoustic waves to promote healing in musculoskeletal injuries. It helps reduce pain, improve mobility, and stimulate the body’s natural healing process, often showing benefits after just one session.
WHAT IS SHOCKWAVE THERAPY USED FOR?
- Shockwave therapy is particularly effective for treating chronic conditions and injuries, including:
- Plantar Fasciitis (heel pain)
- Achilles Tendonitis
- Tennis Elbow
- Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy
- Jumper's Knee (Patellar Tendonitis)
- Calcific Tendonitis
- Hip Bursitis
- Shin Splints
- Iliotibial Band Syndrome (ITB Friction Syndrome)
- Chronic back pain (lumbar and cervical spine)
HOW SHOCKWAVE THERAPY WORKS
-
Pain Reduction
Shockwaves stimulate tissue regeneration and enhance blood circulation, helping to reduce pain and promote healing.
-
Improved Mobility
The treatment targets damaged tissues, reducing inflammation and increasing flexibility.
-
Healing Stimulation
Shockwave therapy encourages collagen production and accelerates the body’s natural repair mechanisms.
BENEFITS OF SHOCKWAVE THERAPY
- Non-invasive and drug-free treatment
- Targets chronic pain and soft tissue injuries
- Stimulates natural healing and tissue regeneration
- Short treatment time, with no recovery time required
- Can lead to immediate pain relief and improved movement
WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM SHOCKWAVE THERAPY?
- Shockwave therapy can benefit individuals dealing with chronic pain or injuries that have not responded to other treatments. It is especially useful for:
- Chronic Tendon Injuries: People with tendon issues like tennis elbow, Achilles tendonitis, or rotator cuff problems.
- Sports Injuries: Athletes recovering from overuse or repetitive strain injuries.
- Back Pain: Individuals with chronic pain in the lower back or neck.
- Long-Term Muscle Pain: For those with persistent muscle-related discomfort.
