Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave therapy uses acoustic waves to penetrate the body and target specific areas of pain or injury. These waves stimulate circulation, promote healing, break down calcifications, and encourage the regeneration of tissues like tendons, ligaments, and muscles.

Shockwave therapy is effective for treating a variety of musculoskeletal conditions, including:

• Tendonitis (e.g., Achilles tendonitis, patellar tendonitis)
• Plantar fasciitis
• Calcific shoulder tendinopathy
• Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis)
• Rotator cuff injuries
• Hip pain
• Knee pain (patellar tendinopathy)
• Chronic pain due to soft tissue injuries
• Chronic inflammation and scar tissue
• Heel spurs and other bone-related conditions

Yes, Shockwave Therapy is generally safe when administered by a trained physiotherapist or healthcare professional. It is non-invasive and does not involve surgery, drugs, or injections. However, it may not be suitable for individuals with certain conditions such as pregnancy, blood clotting disorders, or cancer. Always consult with your healthcare provider before starting treatment.

A typical Shockwave Therapy session lasts between 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the area being treated and the severity of the condition. Sessions are usually repeated at weekly intervals, and the total number of sessions will depend on the individual’s response to treatment.
