WHAT IS SHOCKWAVE THERAPY?

Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive medical treatment that uses acoustic sound waves to stimulate healing in injured tendons, ligaments, and soft tissues. Primarily used in orthopedics for chronic pain, it increases blood circulation, breaks down calcium deposits, and triggers natural cellular repair mechanisms. This innovative approach offers significant benefits for a range of conditions.

Key aspects of shockwave therapy:

• Conditions treated: Effective for plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, Achilles tendonitis, shoulder rotator cuff injuries, and trigger points.

• How it works: A handheld device delivers acoustic, high-energy pulses to the injured area, increasing blood flow and stimulating collagen production.

• Procedure: A fast, outpatient, non-invasive procedure, with typical sessions lasting 15–20 minutes, usually requiring 3 to 6 sessions.

• Types: Uses either focused shockwaves (high energy, deeper penetration) or radial pressure waves (more superficial, for tendinopathies).

• Benefits: Reduces chronic inflammation and promotes tissue regeneration.
