Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave is an acoustic wave which carries high energy to painful spots and myoskeletal tissues. The energy promotes regeneration and reparative processes of the bones, tendons and other soft tissues.

 

Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (SWT) is effective in numerous types of insertional pain syndromes.

 

What conditions can shockwave treat?

  • Plantar Fasciitis

  • Scar tissue 

  • Heel spurs/Heel pain

  • Calcific Tendonitis

  • Cellulite 

  • Knots 

  • Trigger points 

  • Patellar Tendonitis (Jumper’s Knee)

  • Achilles Tendonitis

  • Rotator Cuff Tendonitis

  • Myofascial Trigger Points in muscle

  • Iliotibial Band Syndrome (IT Band Syndrome)

  • Tennis Elbow and Golfer’s Elbow

  • Bursitis

  • Heterotopic Ossification (Myositis Ossificans)

  • And more...
