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.
