Shockwave therapy is a non-surgical treatment, and works by delivering impulses of energy, targeted to specific damaged tissues within the abnormal tendon or muscle. This increases the blood flow within the affected area, stimulating cell regeneration and healing, and decreasing local factors which can cause pain. In particular it helps to reduce chronic inflammation, ease pain, stimulate the growth of new blood vessels and the formation of new collagen production. It is a very useful and successful treatment for conditions such as -
-
Plantar Fasciitis
-
Shoulder pain
-
Elbow pain
-
Knee pain
-
Trigger points
-
Achilles Tendonopathy
-
