Shock Wave Therapy
Shock wave therapy is a popular method of treating chronic pain. Patients who have tried it have results within 3-6 weeks. In most cases where conventional therapy fails, it has proven to be more effective. Up to one year after therapy, patients still enjoy the relief it brings.
Shockwave Therapy Overview
Shock wave therapy is a non-invasive or non-surgical treatment that involves using low energy acoustic pulsations on the affected area of the body via the skin. Ultrasound gel, Vaseline or castor oil is rubbed on the area before the procedure. This innovative approach to treating chronic pain stemmed from the discovery that sound waves, when focused, can break down gallstones.
With shock wave therapy, you won’t be needing painkillers anymore. It activates and speeds up the natural healing mechanisms in your body like magic. By delivering shock waves to injured tissue, it reduces pain and promotes healing. We usually recommend it for patients dealing with chronic tendinopathy, which is a condition in which the tissue connecting muscle to bone becomes inflamed. This kind of pain usually defies treatment with conventional methods but has repeatedly been treated with shock wave therapy.
