Shock wave therapy

Shockwave therapy is a treatment that uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate the healing process in damaged tissues. It is often used to treat muscle and bone-related conditions such as plantar fasciitis, tendonitis, and muscle trigger points.

Some potential benefits of shockwave therapy include:

  • Shockwave therapy is quick, non-surgical, and non-invasive, making it an attractive option for those who are reticent to undertake or are unable to undergo traditional treatments, such as surgery.

  • Shockwave therapy can decrease pain quickly and drastically. It can often be more beneficial in relieving pain than anti-inflammatory drugs or cortisone injections, and can break up adhesions which may be causing inflammation in the area.

  • As an energy source, shockwaves create increased circulation below the surface of the skin. This increased circulation helps deliver vital nutrients to the area to promote healing.

  • Shockwave therapy can speed up the healing process, optimize the tissue healing and assist the body to regain strength quickly.

  • Shockwave therapy treats the source of the pain, rather than just temporarily alleviating the symptoms. This means that the problem can be addressed long-term, and risk of recurrence is reduced.
