Shockwave Therapy

Why Shockwave Therapy?

Our practice has state of the art shockwave therapy device. Shockwave therapy has been proven to treat 90% of all musculoskeletal injuries.

This treatment is recommended for chronic soft tissue injuries, particularly those that have not responded to typical conservative treatment (stretching, ice, heat, strengthening, massage, supportive footwear, orthotics etc).

Shockwave therapy delivers high and low energy shock (acoustic) waves to the injured tissue via a hand-held probe. These shockwaves are non-invasive and activate the body’s self healing process and reduces pain by:

Accelerates the healing process through cell regeneration and collagen synthesis
Increasing metabolic activity through formation of new blood vessels and improved circulation
Stimulates nerves to decrease sensitivity in the area of pain
Also has an analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect

Benefits of Shockwave Therapy

Non-Invasive

Does not penetrate the skin and only takes 10-20 minutes to complete the treatments

No side effects

No anesthesia

Does not require anaesthesia or any medications and can eliminate the need for surgery.
