What is SHOCKWAVE?
Shockwave is non surgical, non invasive therapy which is highly affective in the treatment of:
Plantar Fasciitis, Tennis/Golfers Elbow, Achilles Tendonitis, Tendonopathy/Tendonosis, Sciatica, Shoulder Pain/Impingement, Low Back Pain, Calcifications/Scar Tissue, Muscular Knots/Spasms and Osteoarthritis.
How does it WORK?
When mechanical shockwaves pass the skin skin layer they cause the biophysical process of neovascularization, an increase in blood flow and vessel formation. In turn, this provides a greater nutrition, leading to cell regeneration, tissue remodelling & healing.
SHOCKWAVE THERAPY further has the ability to break up osteophytes, inflammatory waste products & scar tissue, enabling cells in the body to function correctly.
Stimulating the natural healing process can often result in symptoms becoming worse to get better, which is a normal process following SHOCKWAVE THERAPY. Typically, it will take several weeks for the body to naturally heal a variety of musculoskeletal pathologies
