Shockwave Therapy

LONG TERM PAIN RELIEF AND MOBILITY RESTORATION

What is Shockwave Therapy?

Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) is a modality used in coordination with chiropractic care, physical therapy, orthopedics and sports medicine for the treatment of common musculoskeletal conditions. Acoustic waves generated by the shockwave trigger biological effects which lead to faster and long-term healing and regeneration of the tissue. Shockwave therapy (SWT) covers a wide range of indications, including upper and lower extremity tendinopathies, greater trochanteric pain syndrome, medial tibial stress syndrome, patellar tendinopathy, plantar fasciopathy (plantar fasciitis).

Principle of Action

Shockwave is an acoustic wave which carries high energy to the painful area. The energy provokes healing, regenerating and reparative processes of the bone and soft tissue. This therapy may be an ideal solution with no side effects for various indications causing chronic pain.
