Shockwave Therapy

Under Physical Therapy

Enhance your recovery journey with a holistic approach that combines Physical Therapy and Shockwave Therapy. Shockwave therapy, also referred to as Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT), offers a non-invasive solution harnessing high-energy shockwaves to accelerate healing and alleviate pain in diverse musculoskeletal conditions. Originally developed for disintegrating kidney stones, this innovative treatment has evolved for orthopaedic, sports medicine, and rehabilitation purposes.

During the procedure, a specialized device administers acoustic waves to the affected area, generating mechanical pulses that penetrate the tissue. These shockwaves stimulate increased blood flow, tissue regeneration, and the release of growth factors, facilitating the healing process and reducing inflammation effectively.

Shockwave therapy addresses conditions like tendinitis (e.g., plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis), calcific shoulder tendinopathy, tennis elbow, and various musculoskeletal injuries. It stands as a safe and efficient alternative to surgical interventions or prolonged medication usage, especially for chronic conditions resistant to conventional treatments.

Performed on an outpatient basis without anesthesia, shockwave therapy typically requires multiple sessions based on the condition’s severity and individual response. Embraced as a conservative treatment option, it promotes tissue healing, pain reduction, and functional restoration for orthopaedic patients. Consultation with a qualified healthcare professional is recommended to assess the suitability of shockwave therapy for a specific condition and to explore potential benefits and risks comprehensively.

Take the first step towards pain relief and enhanced mobility. Schedule your consultation today to explore the benefits of Shockwave Therapy for your orthopaedic well-being.
