What is shockwave therapy?
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that stimulates the body's natural healing process. It can relieve pain and
promote healing of injured tendons, ligaments, and other soft tissues. It accomplishes this by releasing growth factors in
the injured tissue. Shockwave therapy is sometimes referred to as EPAT, or extracorporeal pulse activation technology.
Shockwave therapy is a type of regenerative medicine (also known as an orthobiologic therapy). It is used to treat
tendinopathy as well as difficult-to-heal ligament injuries. Some degenerative tendinopathies have an associated buildup
of calcium in the tendon. Focused shock waves can break those deposits up.
The treatment can also promote healing after orthopedic surgery - for instance, if a hip impingement has damaged tendons
and ligaments around the hip. Surgery may correct the hip impingement, but after years of overworking and degeneration
because of the impingement, the surrounding tendons often remain painful. Shockwave therapy can be used to address
this secondary issue.
What sports injuries can be treated with shockwave therapy?
Shockwave therapy is used to reduce pain and promote healing from tendinopathy and many other sports injuries.
Some examples include:
foot pain: plantar fasciitis and Achilles' tendinopathy
Achilles' tendinopathies
knee pain: patella tendinopathy (jumper's knee)
leg pain: hamstring injuries
hip pain: rectus femoris and lateral hip pain with gluteal tendinopathies
elbow pain: Little League elbow and tennis elbow
shoulder pain: rotator cuff injuries
ESWT SHOCKWAVE THERAPY
Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) is a noninvasive treatment that
involves delivery of shock waves to injured soft tissue to
reduce pain and promote healing.
Mechanism of action
The radial shockwave causes mechanical stimulation and carries a high dosage
of energy to trigger regeneration and reparation processes.
It is the first-choice treatment in chronic conditions such as superficial tendinopathies,
calcifications, and persistent pain of muscles and tendons.
Shock Wave Benefits
Success rate of 80% Non surgical and drug free Non-invasive No risk of infection
Faster and easier healing Reduce expenses
Treatment Result
Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis) -up to 91%
Calcifying Tendonitis of the Shoulder -up to 91%
Plantar Fasciitis -up to 88%
Patellar Tendonitis/Tendonosis (Jumper's Knee) -up to 87%
Achilles Tendonitis/Tendonosis -up to 87%
Patients receiving shockwave therapy can expect:
A reduction of pain felt by nerve fibres;
An increase of blood circulation in surrounding soft tissues;
Stimulation of the healing process triggered by stem cell activation.
