Shockwave therapy delivers an effective drug free pain treatment by targeting acoustic waves to specific locations on the body. This therapy serves to increase blood flow to the area, eliminate scar tissue, stimulate healing and repair of damaged body tissues, making it a very popular treatment for pain in Surrey.
Shock Wave Therapy works by delivering acoustic waves to affected areas, increasing blood circulation and stimulating tissue repair.
Common Conditions Treated:
Tennis/Golfer’s Elbow
Trigger Points and Muscle Tightness
Deep tissues are targeted as well as areas containing calcifications to stimulate healing and break down scar tissue.
Used for muscles and tendons as this therapy is more surface based.
This therapy breaks down scar tissue to eliminate pain, as opposed to just Orthodic treatments.
Healing is promoted and new blood vessels form thus enhancing the recovery of affected cells.
•Initial Assessment: A thorough assessment of your painful area and the pain causing condition.
•Treatment: Administration of shockwaves (10 to 20 minutes treatment time).
•Level of discomfort: Sometimes sensation of tingling and/or pressure.
•Recovery: No recovery time – carry on with your usual activities straight after treatment.
•Those who live in Surrey and who are experiencing:
•Pain lasting more than 4 weeks.
•Limited joint or muscle ability.
•Sports injuries which are not healing properly.
•Pain in tendons or ligaments which is persistent.
Relief from pain with reduced healing time.
Inflammation caused by pain is diminished.
No surgery or needles.
Chronic musculoskeletal conditions that involve pain in the muscles, joints, tendons and ligaments can be treated with shockwave therapy which includes tennis elbow, calcific shoulder pain, Achilles tendinitis and plantar fasciitis. It is ideal for those who have not gained improvement through rest or other methods of treatment.
You will likely need 3-6 sessions, one week apart, depending on the severity of your condition.
Many patients do not find shockwave therapy painful. A majority describe the sensations as mild tingling or pressure, with little to no pain at all.
Although many patients see improvement even after the first treatment, others do not see improvement until the 3rd or 4th treatment, when the tissues begin to heal and the inflammation has decreased.
