Shockwave therapy is an effective modality for the treatment of many musculoskeletal conditions. It is primarily used for chronic conditions (occurring for over 6 months) and focuses on the recovery of tendons.
It has been shown that shockwave therapy stimulates the body’s natural healing response and has an effect on nerve endings to reduce pain.
Shockwave Therapy is typically used for such conditions: Plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis), golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis), jumper’s knee (patellar tendonitis), calcific tendonitis (mainly supraspinatus), Achilles tendonitis, retrocalcaneal bursitis, scar tissue
