Radial Shockwave & Ultra Sound Therapy
Radial Shockwave Therapy uses a device to send acoustic waves of high energy pulses into an injury affected area on a person’s body. The device works by creating a microtrauma to the affected area, thus stimulating blood flow and thereby promoting tissue healing. In chronic pain, these shockwaves create a new inflammatory process, which then kick-starts the brain to react by sending the necessary nutrients to promote healing. Benefits of Shockwave Therapy include fast pain relief, mobility restoration and accelerated tissue repair and cell growth.
Shockwave is used to treat conditions such as,
Planter Fasciitis (heel pain)
Heel Spurs
Achilles tendinopathy(tendon issues)
Patellar Tendinopathy(knee tendon issues)
Tennis and Golfers Elbow
Biceps Tendinopathy
Shoulder Tendon issues
Trochanteric Bursitis
Soft Tissue injuries
Ultra Sound Therapy involves the therapeutic use of high frequency vibration to reduce swelling , promote healing and assist scar tissue remodelling.
