Shockwave Therapy
As part of our dedication to your well-being, we offer shockwave therapy as an effective treatment option within our physiotherapy practice. Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive and innovative technique that utilizes acoustic waves to accelerate healing, reduce pain, and restore function. Let’s explore how shockwave therapy can benefit you on your path to recovery.
Understanding Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy, also known as extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT), involves the application of high-energy acoustic waves to the affected area of the body. These acoustic waves generate mechanical forces that stimulate the body’s natural healing processes and promote tissue regeneration.
The benefits of Shockwave Therapy include:
- Enhanced Healing and Tissue Regeneration Shockwave therapy promotes the production of new blood vessels, which improves blood circulation to the affected area. This increased blood flow enhances the delivery of oxygen and nutrients, accelerating the healing process and facilitating tissue regeneration. It can be particularly beneficial for chronic tendinopathies, such as Achilles tendinopathy or tennis elbow.
- Pain Reduction By stimulating nerve fibres and disrupting pain signals, shockwave therapy can effectively reduce pain. It helps desensitize the area and inhibits pain receptors, providing relief from conditions such as plantar fasciitis, rotator cuff tendinitis, or other chronic pain conditions.
- Improved Mobility and Function Shockwave therapy can help restore mobility and function by reducing inflammation and promoting tissue repair. It can alleviate muscle tightness, increase range of motion, and enhance overall joint functionality. This makes it an effective treatment option for conditions such as frozen shoulder, hip bursitis, or patellar tendinopathy.
- Non-Invasive and Non-Surgical One of the key advantages of shockwave therapy is that it is a non-invasive and non-surgical treatment option. There is no need for incisions or anaesthesia, reducing the risks and complications associated with invasive procedures. Shockwave therapy is an excellent alternative for individuals seeking non-surgical solutions for their pain or mobility issues.
The Shockwave Therapy Process
During a shockwave therapy session, our trained physiotherapists will apply the shockwave device to the targeted area. The device emits controlled acoustic waves that penetrate the tissues and stimulate the healing response. The intensity and frequency of the waves will be adjusted based on your specific condition and treatment goals.
Shockwave therapy sessions are typically short, lasting between 10 to 15 minutes. The number of sessions required may vary depending on the severity and chronicity of your condition. Our physiotherapists will determine the optimal treatment plan for you, considering your individual needs and response to therapy.
