Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses acoustic waves to stimulate the body’s natural healing process. It increases blood flow, breaks down calcifications, and promotes tissue regeneration to accelerate recovery. Commonly used for stubborn muscle, tendon, and ligament injuries, the treatment involves applying a gel and using a handheld device to deliver targeted sound waves to the affected area. Some mild discomfort during the session is normal and part of the healing response.
Shockwave Therapy
What is Shockwave Therapy?
How it works
Acoustic pressure waves: High-energy sound waves are directed at the injured area to trigger the body’s natural healing response.
Breaks down calcifications: Focused shockwaves help dissolve hardened calcium deposits, allowing the body to reabsorb them naturally.
Boosts circulation: Improves blood flow and delivers essential nutrients and growth factors to the affected tissues.
Stimulates regeneration: Encourages the growth of new bone and connective tissue cells for faster recovery.
Reduces pain: Helps desensitize nerve endings, decreasing pain and discomfort over time.
Recovery & What To Expect
Return to activities: You can resume normal daily activities immediately after treatment.
Exercise caution: Avoid high-impact exercise for the first 48 hours.
Normal reactions: Mild redness or swelling may occur and usually fades within a day or two.
Medication guidance: Avoid anti-inflammatory medications (like ibuprofen or Aleve); paracetamol is safe if needed.
Potential Risks & Contraindications
Tendon or ligament tears: Not recommended if the tissue is nearly ruptured.
Bone health: Those with osteoporosis may face a slight fracture risk.
Medical conditions: Avoid if you have clotting disorders, certain heart conditions, or infections at the treatment site.
Pregnancy: Not advised during pregnancy.
