Shockwave therapy is a non-surgical treatment for soft tissue injuries. It delivers a sound wave into the tissues and not an electrical pulse. The treatment causes a pro-inflammatory response in the tissue. The body then responds to:
Increase blood circulation and metabolism in the impact area, promoting cell regeneration and healing
Break down deep seated scar tissue and calcification within soft tissues and tendons
Reduce chronic pain in damaged tissues, enabling more effective rehabilitation
It is particularly indicated for chronic Achilles tendinopathy, patella tendinopathy, plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, and calcific tendinopathy of the shoulder.
