Shock Wave Therapy

At Advanced Chiropractic and Physiotherapy Clinic, we are proud to offer Shock Wave Therapy as a cutting-edge treatment option to aid in the recovery and rehabilitation of various musculoskeletal conditions. This non-invasive therapy utilizes acoustic waves to promote healing, reduce pain, and restore mobility.

What is Shock Wave Therapy?

Shock Wave Therapy (SWT) is a highly effective treatment method that involves the use of acoustic waves to deliver targeted energy to injured tissues. This energy stimulates the body’s natural healing processes, enhancing blood circulation, reducing inflammation, and promoting tissue regeneration.

Benefits of Shock Wave Therapy

• Pain Reduction: SWT helps alleviate acute and chronic pain by targeting the source of discomfort and reducing inflammation.
• Enhanced Healing: The acoustic waves stimulate blood flow and cell metabolism, accelerating the healing process for damaged tissues.
• Non-Invasive: This treatment does not require surgery or injections, making it a safe and effective option for many patients.
• Improved Mobility: SWT helps to break down calcified tissue and scar tissue, improving flexibility and range of motion.

Conditions Treated by Shock Wave Therapy

Shock Wave Therapy is versatile and can treat a variety of conditions, including:

• Plantar Fasciitis: Alleviating heel pain by reducing inflammation and promoting tissue healing.
• Tennis/Golfer’s Elbow: Relieving pain and promoting recovery in the tendons of the elbow.
• Shoulder Pain: Treating calcific tendinitis and other shoulder-related issues.
• Achilles Tendinitis: Reducing pain and inflammation in the Achilles tendon.
• Patellar Tendinitis: Commonly known as jumper’s knee, this condition benefits from the enhanced healing effects of SWT.
• Myofascial Pain Syndrome: Relieving trigger points and muscle pain.
• Chronic Tendinopathies: Addressing long-term tendon injuries that have not responded to other treatments.

What to Expect During Treatment

During a Shock Wave Therapy session, our skilled practitioners will apply a handheld device to the targeted area. The device emits acoustic waves that penetrate the skin and reach the affected tissues. Most sessions last about 15-20 minutes, depending on the condition being treated.

Patients may experience some discomfort during the procedure, but this is typically well-tolerated and brief. After the session, there might be some mild soreness, similar to what you might feel after an intense workout, which usually subsides within a day or two.
