What is Shockwave Therapy?

Shockwave Therapy utilizes a wand-like device to deliver rapid bursts of high-energy pulses to targeted areas of the body. These pulses penetrate deep into the tissue, breaking up scar tissue, promoting cellular repair, and stimulating the body’s natural healing processes.

The high-energy pulses emitted during shockwave therapy create an optimal environment for cellular repair and tissue healing. Here’s what happens during treatment:

  • Scar Tissue Breakdown: Shockwave therapy helps to break down scar tissue that has formed on tendons and ligaments.
  • Pain Desensitization: The treatment desensitizes nerve endings, leading to a reduction in pain.
  • Increased Blood Flow: Shockwave therapy enhances nutrient delivery to damaged tissues, promoting faster healing.
  • Tissue Regeneration: Shockwave therapy stimulates the regeneration of damaged tissue and blood vessels, aiding in long-term recovery.
  • Reversal of Chronic Inflammation: The treatment can help reverse chronic inflammation, which is often a barrier to healing in long-standing injuries.

Shockwave therapy is particularly effective in treating a variety of conditions, including:

  • Tendinopathy: Achilles, shoulder (rotator cuff), hip (gluteal, quadriceps, hamstrings), and knee (patellar) tendinopathies.
  • Golfer’s and Tennis Elbow: Pain and inflammation in the elbow tendons.
  • Plantar Fasciitis: Chronic pain and inflammation of the plantar fascia.
  • Heel Spurs: Bony growths on the heel causing discomfort.
  • Frozen Shoulder: Stiffness and pain in the shoulder joint.
  • Bursitis: Inflammation of the bursae, typically in the shoulder, hip, or ankle.
  • Iliotibial Band Syndrome: Pain and inflammation along the outside of the thigh.
  • Myofascial Trigger Points: Knots in the muscles that cause pain and restrict movement.

At Body Restoration, we recommend Shockwave Therapy as an adjunctive treatment technique to initiate the inflammatory cycle and promote blood flow, which is crucial for tissue repair and healing. Research shows that shockwave therapy is most effective when combined with a therapeutic exercise program, which helps to load the tissue effectively and ensures long-lasting results.

Shockwave therapy is applied without the need for medication, making it a convenient and safe option for many patients. While some discomfort during the treatment is normal, many patients report immediate pain relief following the session. Bruising is infrequent and typically resolves quickly.

While shockwave therapy is generally safe, it is important to be aware of certain precautions and contraindications:

  • Active Infections
  • Blood Clotting Disorders
  • Tumors
  • Pregnancy
  • Corticosteroid Injections (recent injections administered within the last 4-6 weeks)
