SHOCKWAVE
​
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses acoustic waves to stimulate healing, reduce pain, and improve mobility in chronic and acute conditions. It is highly effective for conditions like tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, and muscle injuries, promoting faster recovery and improved function.

Shockwave Therapy
-
What Does It Treat?
Shockwave therapy effectively treats conditions such as tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, calcific shoulder tendinopathy, tennis elbow, heel spurs, and chronic muscle pain. It is particularly beneficial for injuries that are slow to heal or have become chronic. -
Benefits
This therapy promotes pain relief, enhances blood flow, accelerates tissue healing, and restores mobility without the need for surgery or medications. It is non-invasive, safe, and often delivers noticeable improvements in just a few sessions. -
How It Works
Shockwave therapy uses high-energy acoustic waves to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. These waves target damaged tissues, breaking down calcifications and increasing blood circulation, which speeds up recovery and reduces inflammation.
Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (Shockwave) uses an “abrupt, high amplitude pulse of mechanical energy, similar to soundwaves to treat a variety of conditions including, but not limited to:
•Plantar Fascitis / Heel Pain / Heel Spur
•Elbow pain ex. tennis or golfer's elbow
•Shoulder pain ex. shoulder calification's
•Achilles tendon pain – Achilles Tendonopathy
•Patellar tendonitis ex. jumper's knee or Osgood-Schlatters disease
•Myofascial Trigger points/muscle tension
•Chronic neck and back pain
•Trigger Points, Sprain/Strains, Shin Splints, Knee Pain
•Whiplash (WAD I, WAD II, WAD III)
•Bursitis
•TMJ
•Tennis Elbow, Stress Fractures, Non-Healing Ulcers
•Scar Tissue Treatment
•Rotator Cuff Tendonitis
•Cervical spine, Upper extremities, Hip region
•Thoracic and lumbar spine
•Lower extremities
