What is Shockwave therapy?
Shockwave therapy is an evidence-based treatment that uses acoustic sound waves to stimulate healing in injured or painful tissues.
How does Shockwave therapy work?
By increasing blood flow, stimulating tissue repair, and helping reduce pain sensitivity, shockwave therapy can assist the body’s natural healing process and support a faster return to load and activity.
What type of injuries benefit from Shockwave therapy?
It is commonly used for chronic tendon, muscle, and joint conditions such as plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, patellar tendinopathy, gluteal tendinopathy, and other overuse injuries.
As part of a comprehensive rehabilitation approach, shockwave therapy can be especially beneficial for chronic injuries that have not responded fully to rest, exercise, or other treatment methods. At our practice, we are excited to integrate this non-invasive treatment modality into our rehabilitation services to help patients move better, recover stronger, and return to the activities they enjoy sooner.
If you think shockwave therapy may be appropriate for your injury, please arrange your appointment through reception and specify that you would like to book with San-Mari.
