Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy is a cutting-edge, non-invasive treatment that uses targeted sound waves (acoustic “shock” waves) to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. It helps to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and promote tissue repair in muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Because it boosts blood circulation and accelerates tissue regeneration at the injury site, shockwave therapy can achieve effective results without the need for surgery or medication. It’s a safe therapy with minimal side effects, allowing you to continue daily activities while healing.
What is Shockwave Therapy?
Effective relief for stubborn pain without surgery or injections
Shockwave therapy is a clinically proven, noninvasive treatment that helps reduce pain and restore mobility in areas where healing has slowed. It works by delivering high-energy sound waves to targeted tissues, stimulating blood flow, breaking down calcifications and activating the body’s natural repair processes.
This makes it an effective option for conditions such as tendonitis, plantar fasciitis and other long-standing musculoskeletal issues, without the need for medication or surgery.
Conditions Treated by Shockwave Therapy
One of the great advantages of shockwave therapy is its success in treating a range of persistent musculoskeletal conditions – especially those that haven’t improved with rest or traditional therapy. Common treatable conditions include:
Tendon pain and tendinopathies
Such as Achilles tendonitis, patellar tendonitis (“jumper’s knee”), tennis elbow or golfer’s elbow (elbow tendinitis), and rotator cuff tendinopathy in the shoulder. Shockwave therapy is clinically proven to help chronic tendon injuries by stimulating healing in the tendon fibers.
Plantar fasciitis and heel pain
Shockwave is a first-line treatment for plantar fasciitis (pain in the heel/arch of the foot) and can even help if a heel spur is present. By improving circulation in the fascia and reducing inflammation, it can significantly reduce heel pain and help you get back on your feet.
Chronic muscle pain and trigger points
Stubborn muscle knots and myofascial pain in areas like the neck, shoulders, or lower back can be effectively relieved. The therapy’s acoustic waves help release tight soft tissue and break up adhesions, providing relief from chronic muscular pain and tension.
Shin splints and other overuse injuries
Conditions like medial tibial stress syndrome (shin splints), hip bursitis, and certain types of chronic joint pain or ligament injuries can also benefit. Shockwave therapy’s ability to promote tissue regeneration and reduce pain makes it useful for these difficult-to-heal issues.
* If you have had pain for a long time – typically over 3 months – in your joints, muscles or tendons, shockwave therapy may be an appropriate treatment to consider. Our team will assess your individual case and advise accordingly. *
