SHOCKWAVE THERAPY  FOR TRERATING INJURIES AND TENDINITIS

​

What is Shockwave Therapy?

Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy sound waves to promote healing in damaged tissues. These sound waves stimulate blood flow, reduce pain, and help accelerate the body's natural healing process. It’s commonly used to treat musculoskeletal conditions that involve chronic pain and inflammation.

What Conditions Can Shockwave Therapy Treat?

In an osteopathic setting, shockwave therapy is typically used to treat a variety of conditions, including:

​

 Tendinitis/Tendinopathy: Common in areas like the shoulder (rotator cuff), elbow (tennis elbow), or Achilles tendon.

Plantar Fasciitis:Pain and inflammation in the heel and bottom of the foot.

Calcific Shoulder Tendinitis:Calcium deposits in shoulder tendons causing pain and limited movement.

Patellar Tendinopathy (Jumper's Knee):Pain and swelling below the kneecap.

Shin Splints:Pain along the shinbone, often due to overuse.

Trigger Points: Painful muscle knots that cause discomfort and restrict movement.

Shockwave therapy is particularly effective for conditions that haven’t responded well to other treatments. It’s a safe and proven method to reduce pain, improve mobility, and support long-term recovery.
