What Is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses controlled acoustic pressure waves delivered directly to an affected area of the body.
These waves stimulate the tissues and may help encourage increased circulation, tissue repair and the body’s natural recovery processes.
It is commonly used for musculoskeletal problems involving tendons, muscles and connective tissues, particularly when pain has become persistent or has not responded as expected to other conservative treatments.
Treatment is performed in the clinic and does not involve injections or surgery.
What Can Shockwave Therapy Help With?
Shockwave Therapy may be suitable for a range of musculoskeletal conditions, including:
- Plantar fasciitis and heel pain
- Achilles tendinopathy
- Tennis elbow
- Golfer’s elbow
- Rotator cuff and shoulder tendon problems
- Patellar tendinopathy
- Hip and gluteal tendinopathy
- Muscle and tendon injuries
- Calcific tendon problems
- Persistent soft tissue pain
- Certain sports and overuse injuries
Every patient is different, which is why we assess your condition before determining whether Shockwave Therapy is appropriate for you.
How Does Shockwave Therapy Work?
During treatment, a handheld applicator is placed over the affected area. Controlled acoustic waves are then transmitted through the tissues.
These mechanical impulses may help:
Stimulate circulation
Improved blood flow to the treated area can help support the body’s natural repair processes.
Encourage tissue healing
Shockwave Therapy may stimulate biological responses involved in the recovery of damaged or irritated tissue.
Reduce persistent pain
Treatment may help influence pain-sensitive nerve endings and reduce sensitivity within chronically painful areas.
Improve tissue mobility
For some conditions, treatment may assist with reducing stiffness and improving the ability of the affected tissues to tolerate movement and loading.
Why Consider Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave Therapy offers a number of advantages for people dealing with persistent musculoskeletal pain.
Non-invasive
No injections, incisions or surgery are involved.
Short treatment sessions
Treatment itself can usually be completed within a relatively short appointment.
Minimal downtime
Most patients can continue with normal daily activities following treatment, depending on their condition.
Targets the affected area
Shockwave Therapy allows treatment to be directed specifically toward painful or injured tissues.
Can complement rehabilitation
It can be combined with physiotherapy
Shockwave Therapy Works Best as Part of a Complete Treatment Plan
Shockwave Therapy is not simply about treating the painful spot.
Persistent musculoskeletal problems often involve several contributing factors, including strength, mobility, biomechanics, workload, posture and activity levels.
Depending on your condition, your practitioner may combine Shockwave Therapy with:
- Physiotherapy
- Rehabilitation exercises
- Strength and mobility work
- Chiropractic care
- Myotherapy
- Remedial massage
- Podiatry
- Activity and load-management advice
Our goal is not only to address your symptoms, but also to help identify the factors that may be contributing to the problem.
