Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave Therapy is a non-invasive, out-patient alternative to surgery for those suffering from many joint and tendon disorders. Radial shockwave therapy (RSW) sends shock waves into bone or soft tissue, in effect reinjuring the area on a cellular level and breaking up the scarring that has penetrated tendons and ligaments. The controlled reinjuring of tissue allows the body to regenerate blood vessels and bone cells. The resulting revascularization leads to faster healing and often a return to pre-injury activity levels.

Uses and Indications of Radial Shockwave Therapy:

RSW has been shown to be effective for Achilles tendinopathy, plantar fasciitis, jumper’s knee, bursitis, calcific rotator cuff tendinopathy, and tennis elbow. There has also been exponential growth in RSW use for trigger point therapy.
