What is Shockwave Therapy?
At Symmetree Osteopathy we combine the use of Shockwave Therapy in conjunction with Osteopathic treatment to achieve clinically proven relief from persistent pain. It is an effective form of treatment used to stimulate collagen and tissue repair, reduce chronic tendon pain and inflammation, improve blood flow and healing to arthritic joints and ultimately improve mobility for our patients.
Shockwave therapy is the non-invasive therapeutic use of high intensity sound waves used to accelerate the healing process of chronic injuries and dramatically reduce pain. It provides a treatment option to patients that is proven to be more effective than conservative methods with resolving stubborn orthopedic injuries such as; plantarfascitis, rotator cuff tears, achilles tendonitis, tennis and golfers elbow, patella pain and heel spurs.
Shockwave therapy can be used to help treat:
- Plantar fasciitis & heel pain
- Achilles Tendinopathy
- Tennis / Golfers elbow (Lateral/ Medial Epicondylitis)
- Patella Tendinopathy/ Osgood Schlatter Disease
- Calcification of the shoulder (rotator cuff) and tears
- Hamstring Tendinopathy and tears
- Osteoitis Pubis
- Trochanteric Bursitis and Gluteal Tendinopathy
- Shin splints
- Back pain
- Sports Injuries
- Sciatica
How many shockwave therapy treatments will I need?
Patients usually require 3-5 treatments per treated area and show immediate results in pain reduction from their first shockwave therapy session. With each consecutive treatment pain significantly decreases to provide a long lasting result.
