is a new technology used to treat chronic conditions of the musculoskeletal system? Shock Waves are acoustic waves with high-pressure amplitude and low frequency.
Shock Wave Therapy is suggested and not limited for treatment of:
Heel spur (Calcaneal Spur)
Plantar Fasciitis
Tendinitis and Calcium Deposition
Frozen Shoulder
Tennis Elbow and Golfer’s Syndrome
Piriformis syndrome
Tight ITB
Treatment time is around 10 minutes, you may experience slight pain or irritability during the treatment
After treatment, Ice is placed on the treatment site for 10 to 15 minutes
Normally five to seven-session of treatment would be sufficient
Feeling initial degrees of improvement varies between the first to several days after the last session, however, the process of improvement may take a couple of months after the last session.
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive medical treatment that uses high-intensity sound waves to stimulate healing in injured or damaged tissues. It is most commonly used to treat musculoskeletal conditions, such as plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, and tennis elbow.
During a shockwave therapy session, a therapist will apply a handheld device to the affected area of the body. The device delivers high-energy sound waves to the tissue, which stimulates blood flow and promotes the formation of new blood vessels. This increased blood flow helps to deliver oxygen and nutrients to the damaged tissue, promoting healing and reducing pai.
Shockwave therapy is typically performed as a series of sessions, with each session lasting between 10-30 minutes. Most patients experience some discomfort during the treatment, but this is usually mild and short-lived.
Overall, shockwave therapy is a safe and effective treatment option for many musculoskeletal conditions. It is non-invasive, has few side effects, and can help patients avoid more invasive treatments like surgery or corticosteroid injections. However, it may not be suitable for everyone, and patients should speak to their healthcare provider to determine if it is right for them.
