shockwave therapy
Shockwave Therapy is a non-invasive, out-patient alternative to surgery for those suffering from many joint and tendon disorders. ESWT (Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy) sends sound shock waves into bone or soft tissue, in effect reinjuring the area on a cellular level. The controlled reinjuring of tissue allows the body to regenerate blood vessels and bone cells. The resulting revascularization leads to faster healing. The therapy is effective for three reasons: The shock waves stimulate a metabolic reaction in the affected tissue; they generate cavitation bubbles that break down calcific deposits; and they induce an analgesic reaction mechanism, which blocks pain messages.
Everyone with soft tissue injuries can benefit from Shockwave Therapy. Shockwave Therapy provides a safe, non-surgical alternative for those suffering from many conditions including Plantar Fascitis, Achilles Tendinopathy, Scar Tissue, Tennis Elbow, Jumpers Knee, Rotator cuff Tendinitis and Stress Fractures.
