Shockware Therapy
Shockwave Therapy is a new treatment that uses acoustic waves to effectively treat chronic pain such as tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, calcific tendinosis of the shoulder, pain under strain at the knee cap (Patellar tendinosis, Jumper’s knee, quadriceps tendinosis), painful inflammation under the heal (plantar fasciitis, heel spur, Achilles tendinosis and calcification), non responsive trigger points, delayed healing and non-union fractures.
- 90% improvement with Plantar Fasciitis (Journal of Orthopedics Research 2005)
- 91% improvement of Calcific Tendonitis (JAMA 2003)
- 77% improvement of Tennis Elbow (Journal of Orthopedics 2005)
Radial shockwaves are high-energy acoustic waves that are transmitted through the surface of the spread radially (spherically) into the body.
Shockwave Therapy the body responds with increased metabolic activity around the site of the pain. This stimulates and accelerates the healing process.
The literature suggests total resolution of symptoms in most patients with 3-5 sessions of 10-15 minutes. Marked pain relief is observed in most patients in just 8 to 10 days after the first treatment.
