Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave Therapy or Radial Shock Wave Therapy is an extremely effective and non-invasive solution to the pain and impairment caused by chronic and overuse injuries.
Shockwave is a series of high-energy percussions to the painful area. These mechanical pulses promote regeneration and reparative processes of the bones, tendons and other soft tissues.
The effects of Shockwave are:
- New blood Vessel formation
- Reversal of Chronic Inflammation
- Stimulation of Collagen
- Breaks up calcifications
- Disperses pain inducing chemicals
- Release of Trigger Points
This results in:
- Pain Relief
- Accelerated tissue repair and cell growth
- Reduction of local muscle tension
Conditions that can be successfully treated with Shockwave:
- Achilles tendon pain
- Plantar fasciitis
- Hip bursitis
- Jumper's knee
- Pain in the hamstring insertion
- Iliotibial band (ITB) syndrome
- Tennis/Golfer's elbow
- Shoulder tendonitis
- Groin pain
- Myofascial trigger points
- Acute muscle spasm/strain
