Shockwave Therapy
Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy is a non-invasive treatment using high-energy sound/vibrational waves that are transmitted into the body to reduce pain sensations and promote local microcirculation — enhancing tissue healing.
Conditions commonly treated with Shockwave therapy include:
Plantar Fasciopathy (the modern term for plantar fasciitis)
Achilles tendon pain and dysfunction
Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome and ‘shin splints’
Patellar tendinopathy (ie. Jumper’s knee)
Rotator cuff tendon pain and dysfunction
Adhesive Capsulitis (ie. Frozen shoulder)
Tennis or Golfer’s elbow (epicondylopathy)
Calcific tendinopathies (ie. calcium deposits within tendon)
Benefits:
Re-stimulate the healing process in injuries that are stuck in a recurrent pattern (eg. stubborn tendon injuries)
Promote resorption of calcium deposits (eg. calcific tendinopathy of a rotator cuff tendon or gluteal tendon)
Reduced pain intensity and trigger points
