Shockwave is the most advanced non-surgical technology currently available for treating many injuries. Shockwave stimulates the healing process by increasing the blood flow to affected areas, which accelerates healing and often results in quicker relief from pain. It also helps heal chronic inflammation, stimulates collagen, which connects and supports tissue, and also breaks up calcium deposits.
Shockwave treatment is an effective therapy for sports injuries, and it is also useful for work related injuries, after car accidents or problems that occur to all of us in our everyday lives. Some common conditions that respond well to this therapy are:
- Frozen shoulder
- Shoulder tendonitis and calcifications
- Plantar Fasciitis and heel spurs
- Achilles Tendon Pain
- Epicondylitis (Tennis or Golfer’s elbow)
- Patellar Tendonitis (jumper’s knee)
- Neck and Back strains
- Shin splints
- Muscle trigger points
Besides comparatively quick pain relief, accelerated tissue regeneration, and other benefits, shockwave treatment is often recommended by orthopedic physicians and used successfully in many cases to avoid having to undergo surgery.
