EXTRACORPOREAL SHOCKWAVE THERAPY

Experience our cutting-edge shockwave therapy for musculoskeletal issues. A non-invasive solution.

WHAT IS EXTRACORPOREAL SHOCKWAVE THERAPY?

Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy is a series of high-energy percussions to the affected area. The waves are sound waves, not electric waves, rendering it quite safe.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

  1. Treatment produces an inflammatory response. The body responds by increasing metabolic activity around the site of pain. This stimulates and accelerates the healing process (promotes the remodeling of dysfunctional collagenous tissues, such as tendinopathies, trigger points, muscle strains, etc).

  2. Shockwaves can break down scar tissue and/or calcification.

  3. Transmission of pain is diminished through neurological mechanisms (inhibition of pain receptors).

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF THE TREATMENT?

This therapy stimulates the body’s natural self-healing process. There is often an immediate reduction of pain and improved range of motion. ESWT may also eliminate your need for surgery.

WHAT CONDITIONS CAN BE TREATED WITH SHOCKWAVE?

  1. Plantar Fasciitis (Heel Spur)

  2. Achilles Tendonitis

  3. Morton’s Neuroma

  4. Tendonitis (peroneal, extensor, anterior and posterior tibial)

  5. Scar tissue

  6. Non-healing fractures
