Shockwave Therapy
This is a non-invasive treatment that involves the delivery of shock waves to injured soft tissue to reduce pain and promote healing. It stimulates the body’s own healing process, can relieve pain, and promote healing of injured tendons, ligaments, and other soft tissues.
Many times, shockwave therapy is successful where first line treatments haven’t worked. Commonly used in physiotherapy and sports medicine, it can help you stay active while you’re healing.
This therapy carries high-energy waves to the injured location and stimulates healing. The energy promotes regeneration and reparative processes of the bones, tendons, and other soft tissues.
Shockwave therapy is beneficial for patients with painful soft tissue (muscle, tendons and ligaments), joint, and bone conditions.
Other benefits of shockwave therapy:
Enhances blood circulation and stimulates the metabolism
Most patients see long-term results after only three treatments
Speeds up recovery from injuries causing acute pain
Breaks down thick scar tissue that can cause immobility
Reversal of Chronic Inflammation
New Blood Vessel Formation
Breakdown of calcifications from trauma
Release of painful Trigger Points
Stimulation of Collagen Production for repair
Slows pain messages to the central nervous system
Here’s a list of common injuries that shockwave therapy can help:
Plantar fasciitis
Tennis elbow
Runner’s knee | Shin splints
Chronic lower back, neck, & shoulder pain
Repetitive sport injuries
Shoulder pain (rotator cuff tendonitis and calcification)
Bone fracture
Myofascial trigger points
If you have an injury that just isn’t healing, or you can’t find a treatment that relieves your pain, consider shockwave therapy. We will assess your condition and decide if you’re a good candidate.
