Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave Therapy is a clinically proven treatment for soft tissue injuries. A shockwave is defined as a sound wave that passes through the body and is not an electrical pulse. Treatment initiates a proflammatory response in the tissue where the shockwaves have been applied.

 

The body responds by increasing the bllod circulation and metabolism in the impact area which in turn accelerates the body’s own healing processes. The shockwave will also break down injured tissue and any calcifications.

 

Its main assets are fast pain relief and mobility restoration. Together with being a non-surgical therapy with no need for painkillers makes it an ideal therapy to speed up recovery and cure various conditions causing acute or chronic pain.

BENEFITS OF CARE

Documented international results show an overall successful result of 77% for conditions that have not been cured with other kinds of treatment.

Stimulates new blood vessel formation and reverses chronic inflammation. It dissolves calcified fibroblasts and increases the stimulation of new collagen formation for tissue healing.

It is a non-invasive therapy and brings about effective pain relief without the use of drugs.

There is a wealth of strong evidence for the efficacy and success for this modality and it is considered the ‘gold standard’ treatment for some conditions, namely those of chronic inflammation within tendons e.g. Plantar fasciitis, tendonitis.
