Shockwave therapy is a new effective treatment technique for a range of tendon, muscle and joint conditions.

The technique uses high pressure mechanical acoustic waves to stimulate the body’s immune system; the waves create microtears in the tendon to significantly stimulate the growth and remodelling of new cells. This results in faster healing and pain relief.

Some of the conditions that Shockwave Therapy treats:

• Feet– heel spurs, plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis
• Knee– patellar tendonitis
• Hip– bursitis
• Lower Leg– shin splints and tightened calves
• Upper Leg– Iliotibial band friction syndrome
• Back Pain– lumbar and chronic muscular pain
• Shoulder and elbow – Calcific tendonitis, Epicondylitis

Benefits of using radial shockwave therapy:

• Non-invasive
• Minimal side effects
• Decreases pain
• Improves function
• Effects can be rapid
• No down-time from work is necessary
