Shock Wave Therapy
We offer this safe, non-invasive, quick and effective solution for longstanding musculoskeletal pain and discomfort. Shock wave therapy is often integrated into chiropractic care, physiotherapy, orthopedic and sports medicine to speed up recovery.
A hand-piece is used to deliver mechanical pressure pulses (shockwaves – short, intense energy waves that travels faster than sound waves) to affected tissues or tendons with the aim to cause micro trauma to the problematic area, increase blood flow, stimulate an acute inflammatory response and in turn, speeding up the natural healing process.
Shockwave therapy is often associated with treatment of chronic muscular and tendon disorders. Most patients report a significant improvement in their conditions after only a few sessions. Common conditions it can help with include:
- back pain
- neck pain
- knee pain
- heel pain
- shoulder pain
- sprain and strains
- acute injuries and chronic pain
- bursitis
- osteoarthritis
- tendonitis
- sports injuries
