Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment where high energy waves are passed through the skin to increase blood flow, stimulate cell regeneration and healing and decrease local factors which can cause pain to the injured tissues. The UK’s National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has issued guidelines for the use of Shockwave in treating the following conditions: Achilles Tendinopathy, Calcific Tendonitis of the Shoulder, Plantar Fasciitis and Tennis Elbow.
Shockwave therapy has become increasingly popular in the field of physiotherapy due to its numerous benefits for patients dealing with various musculoskeletal conditions. After treatments, patients often experience improvements in their range of motion, flexibility, and overall functional abilities following a course of shockwave therapy. This can significantly enhance their quality of life and ability to engage in everyday activities. Shockwave therapy offers a range of benefits for individuals dealing with musculoskeletal issues, providing a non-invasive, effective, and drug-free approach to pain relief and tissue healing.
