Shockwave Therapy is a high energy acoustic wave that stimulate the cells and the body's intrinsic healing mechanisms and decrease pain.
In our clinic we use a very highly powered machine called Focused Shockwave that is transmitted into the body from very shallow or up to a depth of about 12cm.
Research shows high levels of success for the following conditions:
| Plantar fasciitis | |
| Achilles tendinopathy | |
| Hamstring tendinopathy | |
| Patella tendinopathy | |
| Shin splints | |
| Non-union fractures | |
| Myofascial trigger points -localised tender or painful area | |
| Sub-acute injuries | |
| Wound healing |
| Short treatment time | |
| Improve healing time of chronic injuries unresponsive to conservative care | |
| Deep tissues can be reached | |
| Non-invasive and minimal side effects | |
| Precise and targeted application | |
| Results in a few treatments | |
| Alternative to medications |
| Haemophilia or other coagulation disorders | |
| Disturbed sensory and nervous function, eg. poorly controlled Diabetics | |
| Corticosteroid injections - wait minimum of 6 weeks after local injections | |
| Malignancy/cancers | |
| Prostheses and implants |
| Haemophilia or other coagulation disorders | |
| Disturbed sensory and nervous function, eg. poorly controlled Diabetics |
