Not sure what Shockwave Therapy does?

Shockwave therapy, also known as extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT), is a non-invasive treatment used to promote healing and reduce pain in various musculoskeletal conditions. It involves the application of high-energy sound waves (shockwaves) to targeted areas of the body to stimulate tissue repair. These sound waves create mechanical pressure waves that penetrate the skin and reach deeper tissues.

When do you need Shockwave Therapy?

Shockwave therapy may be recommended when other treatments, such as medications, physical therapy, or rest, have not been effective in managing chronic pain or healing injuries. It is often used for conditions that involve musculoskeletal pain, tendon injuries, and certain soft tissue issues. Here are some common scenarios where shockwave therapy may be needed.

Injuries treatable by shockwave:

• Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis): Persistent elbow pain from overuse of the forearm muscles.
• Patellar Tendonitis (Jumper’s Knee): Pain in the tendon below the kneecap, often caused by repetitive stress.
• Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy: Chronic shoulder pain due to tendon damage in the shoulder.
• Achilles Tendonitis: Chronic pain and inflammation in the Achilles tendon.

Shockwave therapy can help reduce pain, promote healing, and break down calcifications in the tendons, aiding in recovery.

Shockwave Therapy can be effectively used to treat the following conditions: 

Jumper’s knee 

Shoulder pain 

Tennis elbow  

Heel spur 

Medial tibial stress syndrome 

Calcifications  

Achilles Tendinopathy  

Hip pain
