What is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate healing in targeted areas of the body. This innovative therapy promotes tissue regeneration and accelerates the repair of tendons, ligaments, and other soft tissues.
By enhancing blood circulation and reducing pain, shockwave therapy offers an effective alternative for patients seeking relief from chronic pain and musculoskeletal conditions.
At Physio Pros, our highly skilled and experienced team is dedicated to providing top-tier shockwave therapy. Our physiotherapists are trained in the latest techniques and utilize state-of-the-art equipment to ensure optimal results.
What Conditions Are Treated with Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy is highly effective in treating a variety of conditions, including:
- Plantar fasciitis
- Achilles tendonitis
- Tennis elbow
- Golfer’s elbow
- Rotator cuff injuries
- Patellar tendonitis
- Hip pain
- Shin splints
- Calcific shoulder tendonitis
- Chronic back and neck pain
Plantar Fasciitis: A common cause of heel pain, plantar fasciitis involves inflammation of the thick band of tissue that runs across the bottom of the foot. Shockwave therapy helps reduce pain and promote healing in the affected area.
Achilles Tendonitis: This condition causes pain and inflammation in the Achilles tendon, which connects the calf muscles to the heel bone. Shockwave therapy stimulates tissue repair and alleviates pain.
Tennis Elbow: Also known as lateral epicondylitis, tennis elbow is characterized by pain and tenderness on the outer part of the elbow. Shockwave therapy targets the damaged tendons to accelerate recovery.
Golfer’s Elbow: Similar to tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow causes pain on the inner side of the elbow. Shockwave therapy helps reduce inflammation and promote healing of the tendons.
Rotator Cuff Injuries: These injuries affect the group of muscles and tendons that stabilize the shoulder. Shockwave therapy can enhance blood flow and facilitate the repair of the damaged tissues.
Patellar Tendonitis: Also known as jumper’s knee, this condition involves inflammation of the patellar tendon, which connects the kneecap to the shinbone. Shockwave therapy helps reduce pain and promote tendon healing.
Hip Pain: Various conditions, including bursitis and tendinopathy, can cause hip pain. Shockwave therapy provides relief by stimulating tissue repair and reducing inflammation.
Shin Splints: This condition causes pain along the inner edge of the shinbone, often due to overuse. Shockwave therapy can help alleviate pain and promote healing in the affected tissues.
Calcific Shoulder Tendonitis: This condition involves the buildup of calcium deposits within the shoulder tendons, causing pain and limited mobility. Shockwave therapy helps break down the deposits and reduce inflammation.
Chronic Back and Neck Pain: Persistent pain in the back and neck can result from various underlying conditions. Shockwave therapy targets the source of pain, promoting healing and providing relief.
