The use of Shockwave Therapy has become increasingly popular in the field of physiotherapy due to its benefits compared to other healing methods.
What is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave Therapy is commonly used to treat conditions including tennis elbow, non-healing fractures, plantar fasciitis, shoulder tendinopathy and Achilles tendonitis. This healing method uses modern technology to provide patients with safe and high-quality physiotherapy treatment. Shockwave Therapy is used under supervision of highly-trained physiotherapists who know best how to effectively use the Shockwave Therapy machine.
How does Shockwave Therapy work?
This method of physiotherapy works by accelerating the healing process in the body through stimulating your metabolism and improving blood circulation to regenerate damaged tissue. The shockwave machine applies strong energy pulses to affected areas, which occur for short periods of time creating micro-cavitation bubbles which expand and burst. The resulting force penetrates tissues where it stimulates the cells that are responsible for connective tissues and bone healing. The effectiveness of this method offers many benefits to help the body when it has not been able to heal itself.
