Focus Shockwave Therapy
What is Shockwave Therapy?
- Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment, where high energy waves are passed through the skin to help relieve pain and promote movement in the affected area.
- Shockwave therapy is used for conditions that are normally very difficult to treat.
What is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy can treat a wide range of conditions, including:
- Plantar fascitis
- Achilles tendon pain
- Jumper’s knee
- Runner’s knee
- Muscle pain
What is the procedure?
- Treatment is quick and only takes 5 to 10 minutes.
- The number of sessions needed depends on the nature and severity of pain. Most chronic conditions require six sessions.
- Treatment is applied directly to the skin above the affected area with a special handpiece.
- Shockwave treatment is normally carried out after a session of manual therapy.
What are the benefits?
- Radial shock waves are acoustic waves introduced into the body by means of a transmitter and handpiece.
- The shock waves have effects on a cellular level that are beneficial for healing. Increased blood flow and formation of new blood vessels create an environment for tissue repair.
- It has been shown that application of shock waves influences the body’s pain regulating mechanisms resulting in local pain relief.
