Fast-Track Your Healing Process
At ActiveCare Physiotherapy & Rehab, we offer Shockwave Therapy, a non-invasive treatment designed to accelerate your body’s healing process for various musculoskeletal conditions. Whether you’re dealing with chronic pain, soft tissue injuries, or tendon issues, Shockwave Therapy can help you regain mobility, reduce pain, and promote faster recovery—getting you back to an active lifestyle.
What is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave Therapy uses high-energy acoustic waves to target injured areas of the body. These waves stimulate the body’s natural healing processes by increasing blood flow, breaking down scar tissue, and promoting cell regeneration. It is particularly effective for treating chronic pain and conditions that have not responded well to other treatments.
How Does Shockwave Therapy Work?
During Shockwave Therapy, a handheld device sends pressure waves into the affected tissue. These waves stimulate the body to increase circulation and promote healing. The treatment is quick, with sessions lasting around 15 to 30 minutes, and most patients experience significant improvement after just a few treatments.
Conditions Treated with Shockwave Therapy:
- Plantar fasciitis
- Tennis elbow
- Calcific shoulder tendinitis
- Achilles tendinopathy
- Patellar tendinopathy (jumper’s knee)
- Chronic muscle pain
Benefits of Shockwave Therapy:
- Non-invasive: No surgery or medication required.
- Fast recovery: Most patients experience relief within a few sessions.
