Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment option that can effectively reduce pain, promote healing, and improve function in various musculoskeletal and other conditions. Its ability to target specific areas and stimulate the body’s natural healing processes makes it a valuable tool in the treatment of chronic pain and tissue injuries.

Effectiveness & Applications

  • Musculoskeletal Conditions: Shockwave therapy is particularly effective for various musculoskeletal conditions, including:
  • Plantar Fasciitis: Helps to stimulate healing and reduce inflammation in the plantar fascia.
  • Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis): Can promote tissue regeneration and reduce pain in the elbow.
  • Calcific Shoulder Tendonitis: Breaks down calcium deposits in the shoulder tendons, reducing pain and improving mobility.
  • Achilles Tendonitis: Aids in healing and reducing pain in the Achilles tendon.

How Shockwave Therapy Helps

  • Shockwave therapy exerts several beneficial effects on the body:
  • Pain Reduction: It helps reduce pain by interfering with pain transmission signals and promoting the release of natural painkillers (endorphins).
  • Promotion of Healing: The therapy stimulates the production of collagen, which is crucial for repairing and rebuilding tissues.
  • Breakdown of Calcifications: In conditions like calcific shoulder tendonitis, shockwave therapy helps break down calcium deposits, making it easier for the body to absorb and eliminate them.
  • Improved Blood Circulation: It enhances blood flow to the treated area, which accelerates the healing process.

Mechanisms Of Action

  • Microtrauma: The acoustic waves create microtrauma in the tissues, which triggers the body’s natural healing response.
  • Neovascularization: Stimulates the growth of new blood vessels, improving blood supply to the affected area.
  • Cellular Effects: Promotes cellular activity and metabolism, facilitating tissue repair.
