What is shockwave therapy?
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses acoustic waves to stimulate healing in damaged soft tissues. It is commonly used for conditions such as tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, and calcifications in muscles.

How does shockwave therapy work?
During the procedure, high-energy shockwaves are delivered to the affected area. These waves promote increased blood flow, stimulate healing, and help break down calcifications or scar tissue.

Is shockwave therapy painful?
Most patients report mild discomfort during the procedure, but it is generally tolerable. The intensity can be adjusted based on individual comfort levels.

How many sessions are required?
The number of treatments varies depending on the condition being treated and the patient's response to therapy. Typically, a series of 3 to 5 sessions spaced one week apart is recommended.

What conditions can shockwave therapy treat?
Shockwave therapy is effective for various musculoskeletal conditions, including:

• Achilles tendonitis

• Tennis elbow

• Golfer’s elbow

• Plantar fasciitis

• Shoulder tendinitis

• Other chronic pain conditions

Are there any side effects?
Potential side effects are generally minimal and can include transient redness, swelling, or mild discomfort in the treated area. These typically resolve quickly after the session.

Who should avoid shockwave therapy?
Individuals with certain conditions, such as active infections, blood clotting disorders, or pregnancy, should avoid this treatment. It is essential to consult with a healthcare professional to determine if shockwave therapy is appropriate for you.

When can I expect to see results?
Results can vary, but many patients report improvements within weeks of starting treatment. Full benefits may take several weeks to appear as healing progresses.

Can shockwave therapy be used in conjunction with other treatments?
Yes, shockwave therapy can often be used alongside other therapies such as physical therapy, chiropractic adjustments, or medications, depending on the specific case.
