Shockwave Therapy
Whether you’re struggling with plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, or a persistent injury, shockwave therapy offers a solution. Also known as Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT), this non-invasive treatment utilizes low-frequency, acoustic shockwaves administered through a handheld device. By stimulating the body’s natural healing response, shockwave therapy targets stubborn tissue conditions that may have been unresponsive to medication, rest, or alternative therapies.
If you’ve exhausted options such as rest, medications, therapies, and even steroid injections in your pursuit of healing from an injury, and surgery is on the horizon, consider the potential of Shockwave Therapy. This innovative treatment offers a non-invasive alternative to surgical intervention. By utilizing low-frequency, acoustic shockwaves, Shockwave Therapy stimulates your body’s natural healing processes, potentially providing the relief and recovery you seek. Before opting for surgery, discover the possibilities of Shockwave Therapy as a viable alternative.
Unlock the Benefits of Shockwave Therapy
Non-Invasive:
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment option, meaning it does not require surgical incisions or anesthesia. This makes it a safer and less intrusive alternative to surgery.
Pain Relief:
Shockwave therapy effectively targets and reduces pain in various conditions. By stimulating the body’s natural pain-inhibitory mechanisms and reducing inflammation, it can provide significant relief from chronic or acute pain.
Accelerated Healing:
The acoustic shockwaves delivered during therapy promote tissue regeneration and stimulate blood circulation, accelerating the healing process. This can lead to quicker recovery times and improved overall outcomes.
Tissue Regeneration:
Shockwave therapy stimulates the production of growth factors and enhances cellular activity, facilitating tissue repair and regeneration. It can be particularly beneficial for chronic conditions where tissue healing is impaired.
Versatility:
Shockwave therapy is used to treat a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, including plantar fasciitis, tendinopathies (such as tennis elbow and Achilles tendonitis), bursitis, and more. Its versatility makes it suitable for various areas of the body.
Non-Pharmacological:
Shockwave therapy provides a drug-free treatment option for individuals who prefer to avoid or minimize the use of medications. It can be particularly beneficial for those who may not have responded well to conventional pharmacological approaches.
Improved Function and Mobility:
By addressing the underlying causes of pain and promoting tissue healing, shockwave therapy can improve joint function, restore mobility, and enhance overall physical performance.
Minimal Side Effects:
Compared to more invasive treatments or surgeries, shockwave therapy carries minimal risk of side effects. Temporary mild discomfort or bruising at the treatment site may occur, but these are typically short-lived.
- Chronic Neck Dysfunction
- Achilles Tendonitis
- Heel Pain, Heel spurs
- Hip Pain
- Lateral Epicondylitis
- Medial Epicondylitis
- Patellar Tendonitis
- Plantar Fasciitis
- Shoulder
- Frozen Shoulder (adhesive capsulitis)
- Broken bones that have failed to heal (non-unions)
- Shin Splints
- Stress Fractures
Treatment time frame
Shockwave sessions are usually 5- 10 minutes.
You may experience some soreness during and after the session, but relief will begin shortly after. Most patients require 3 treatment sessions. There is no downtime to recovery.
