SHOCK WAVE THERAPY

SHOCK WAVE THERAPY - NOW OFFERED ON-SITE IN CLINIC!

Picture
For the past 20 years, Shock Wave Therapy has been used, with great success, as an effective and non-invasive treatment of a number of chronic musculoskeletal conditions including: 

  • Plantar Fasciitis
  • Chronic Tendonitis including Achilles Tendonitis
  • Shoulder Bursitis
  • Chronic Cervical and Lumbar Pain
  • Epicondylitis
  • Hallux Limitus
  • Chronic Heel Spurs
  • Painful Peripheral Neuropathy
 
A Shock Wave is a longitudinal acoustic wave travelling with ultrasonic speed in the water of the body tissue.  This single pressure pulse with a short needle-like positive spike of less than 1 microsecond.

Shock Wave Therapy works to disrupt chronic pain by introducing a healing shock into the system which promotes increased vascularity, stimulates tissue healing, reduces calcification in the tissues, increases local anti-inflammatory products and inhibits pain receptors to achieve pain relief.  

Researchers have shown that the local delivery of Shock Wave Therapy stimulates the early expression of angiogenesis-related growth factors, including endothelial nitric oxide synthase, vascular endothelial growth factor and proliferating cell nuclear antigen. As such, it results in new vessel in-growth that improves blood supply, increases cell proliferation and accelerates tissue regeneration and healing!
