Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave Therapy is a non-invasive intervention to speed recovery from soft tissue injury by promoting healing as well as reduce associated chronic pain. Shockwave therapy uses an acoustic wave to carry high energy to areas of pain to facilitate tissue regeneration in the healing of bones, tendons, and other soft tissues while providing a reduction or elimination of pain.

Shockwave Therapy is used to treat individuals suffering from reduced mobility and chronic pain associated with various musculoskeletal tendinopathies. Its therapeutic benefits include a significant reduction in pain that accompanies tendinopathies, and fascial conditions such as plantar fasciitis, more quickly than standard therapies through enhanced natural healing, cause by a localized metabolic reaction. This effectively allows the patient/athlete to continue to participate in their sport or activity – remaining active during recovery – providing a quicker pathway to recovery.
Some common tendinopathy conditions that respond well to shockwave therapy include:
- Achilles tendinitis
- Lateral epicondylitis
- Medial epicondylitis
- Quadriceps tendinopathy
- Patellar tendinitis (jumpers knee)
- Rotator cuff tendinopathy
- Hamstring origin pathology
- Plantar fasciitis and heel pain
- De Quervains Tenosynovitis
- Gluteus Medius and Minimus insertion on greater trochanter
- Peroneal tendinitis
- Tibialis Posterior tendinitis
