Shockwave therapy is a unique, non-invasive, and powerful clinical treatment which benefits the body by enabling the cells to be stimulated into action when healing has been slow or stopped.
The energy is produced by compressed air which is locally powered to the area needing healing. Controlled explosive kinetic energy is dissipated through the skin penetrating the tissues stimulating a healing response.
Shockwave therapy is usually applied to areas of chronic pain. It can be used as another treatment alternative prior to surgery.
Advantages of shockwave therapy are:
- It’s safe
- It causes very minimal side-effects
- Non-invasive
- No risk of infection
- No risk of tendon rupture
List of conditions shockwave can benefit:
- Plantar Fasciitis
- Achilles tendinopathy (previously known as tendinitis)
- Rotator cuff tendinopathy (usually supraspinatus muscle)
- Tennis/Golfers elbow
- Biceps tendinopathy
- Patellar tendinopathy
- Chronic muscle injury
- Chronic proximal (high) hamstring tendinopathy
- Cellulite
