What is Shockwave Therapy and how can it help me?
Pain can come on gradually, or after a specific incident, and it can affect you no matter what your age, activity level, or lifestyle.
It can prevent you from doing what you want to do, whether that be your general daily activities, work, exercise, or sports, and this can be highly frustrating.
When you’re experiencing pain, this can be because of a problem with either your muscles, bones, ligaments, tendons, joints, fascia, nerves, or a combination of these.
Shockwave Therapy is a form of treatment that can rapidly help to reduce any aches, pain, or injuries associated with your muscles, tendons, ligaments, or fascia.
It can be used for the following problems: –
- Plantar fasciitis
- Tendonitis
- Tendinopathy
- Bursitis
- Tennis elbow
- Golfer’s elbow
- Muscle strains
- Ligament sprains
It works by delivering shockwaves into the injured area of your body, which results in a number of key physiological benefits: –
- Pain reduction
- Increased blood flow
- New blood vessel formation
- Reversal of chronic inflammation
- Stimulation of collagen production
- Dissolution of calcification
These physiological processes collectively speed up the healing process of the injured area of your body.
In having Shockwave Therapy, it will allow you to quickly, and safely, return to living a pain free lifestyle.
What should I expect?
We will then design, and with your input, implement a comprehensive treatment plan specific to your problem.
This treatment plan will consist of shockwave therapy, expert advice, and exercises to do at home.
This treatment plan will gradually help you to overcome your problem and get you back to doing what you want to do.
When the time is right, we will identify the potential risks to your injury happening again and put measures in place to stop your injury from recurring.
