What is Shockwave Therapy?

Shockwave Treatment is a non-surgical, non-invasive treatment that involves the delivery of high energy sound waves to affected areas of the body to trigger the body’s own natural repair mechanisms and stimulate healing. It is a safe and effective treatment option. The recovery period is shorter than traditional invasive surgery and the procedure eliminates many of the risks associated with traditional surgery. Generally, 3 treatments are advocated with 1 week between treatments.

Conditions That Can be Treated by Shockwave Therapy:

Plantar Fasciitis
Achilles Tendinopathy
Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy
Calcific Tendinitis – commonly found in the shoulder
Frozen Shoulder
Treatment of Muscle Tears and Scar Tissue
Trigger Points
Myofascial Pain Syndrome
Tennis/Golfer’s Elbow
Jumpers/Runners Knee – Patellar tendon injuries
Shin Splints
Shockwave Therapy Helps By:
Inhibiting pain signals
Decreasing inflammation
Promoting new blood flow
Accelerating healing
Providing long-lasting results, usually permanent

Is it Painful?

Shockwave Therapy can be slightly uncomfortable as it is applied directly to the injured area. The injured area may become sensitive for 24-48 hours post-treatment. Generally applying ice to the area for 10 minutes will help to alleviate the sensitivity.
