Shockwave therapy: The secret weapon of physiotherapists to "blur" the pain!
What is shockwave therapy?
Shockwave therapy (or shockwave therapy) is a technology that uses acoustic waves to cause tiny "earthquakes" in the problem area. These sound waves penetrate deep into the tissue, stimulating blood circulation and speeding up the healing process. Imagine it like a mini boomerang going to the sore spot, hitting the problem area and giving you back the feeling of comfort.
Why we use shock therapy?
First, it is effective - most patients feel improvement after a few sessions. Second, it is quick and non-invasive - no need for surgery or medication. And third, it's a great alternative (with minimal contraindications) for people who don't want to undergo more radical measures, such as injections or surgery.
What problems/diseases do we use shockwave therapy for?
In our practice, we most successfully use shock wave therapy for:
- Plantar fasciitis - or the pain in the heel that is felt every time you step.
- Tennis elbow - not just for tennis players, but for anyone with elbow pain after repetitive motions.
- Calcific tendinitis of the shoulder - the accumulation of calcium in the tendons, leading to pain in the shoulder.
- Tendinitis - inflammation of the tendons, whether it is the shoulder, knee or achilles.
- Trigger points - painful "knots" in the muscles that sometimes need special attention.
