Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy is used to address a variety of conditions, but it is noted to be particularly effective for treating soft tissue injuries as well as bone and joint pain such as calcific tendinitis and plantar fasciitis, both of which boast a 90+% improvement rate. Shockwave therapy has also recently been found to promote the recovery of non-healing ulcers in addition to its already established place in treating tennis elbow, heel spurs and tendinosis of the knee and Achilles tendons. Shockwave therapy works by creating an acute, inflammatory response to the affected area, which in turn causes the body to react metabolically to the site, effectively stimulating the healing process.
Conditions proven to be effectively treated by Shockwave Therapy include:
- Plantar Fasciitis
- Achilles Tendinopathy
- Tennis / Golfer's Elbow
- Jumper's Knee
- Stress Fractures
- Calcific Rotator Cuff Tendinitis
- Bursitis
- Non Healing Ulcers
