Shockwave therapy

What is Shockwave Therapy?

Shockwave therapy, also known as extracorporeal pulse
activation technology (EPAT), is a non-invasive treatment that uses sound or
pressure waves to stimulate healing and reduce pain. It is increasingly used in
physical rehabilitation for its ability to target and repair damaged tissues
effectively.

How Does Shockwave Therapy Work?

Shockwave therapy works through several mechanisms:

Increasing Blood Flow: Boosts circulation to injured areas, promoting cell repair and regeneration.

Releasing Growth Factors: Encourages the release of substances that aid tissue healing.

Breaking Down Calcium Deposits: Dissolves calcifications in tendons, which can impair mobility.

Conditions Treated with Shockwave Therapy

This therapy is effective for various musculoskeletal and other conditions, including:

Tendinopathy (e.g., Achilles or patellar tendon injuries)

·      Ligament Injuries

·      Chronic Stress Fractures

·      Arthritis

·      Calcific Tendon Disease

·      Rotator Cuff Disorders

·      Erectile Dysfunction (ED)

·      Benefits of Shockwave Therapy

·      Non-invasive with minimal discomfort.

·      Stimulates natural healing processes.

·      Reduces pain and stiffness in chronic injuries.

·      Targets specific problem areas effectively.

 Side Effects of Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave therapy is generally safe with mild, short-term side effects such as:

·      Temporary swelling or redness in the treated area.

·      Minor soreness or tenderness post-treatment.

 Who Should Avoid Shockwave Therapy?

Shockwave therapy is not suitable for everyone. Avoid this treatment in the following cases:

Pregnancy: Not recommended near the womb.

Cancer: Should not be used on or near malignant tumors.

Bleeding Disorders: Not advisable for individuals with clotting issues.

Proximity to Vital Organs: Should not be applied near the brain, lungs, or spine.

Severe Tissue Damage: When the injury requires surgical intervention.

Shockwave therapy could be a beneficial option for individuals with chronic conditions or injuries unresponsive to traditional treatments. Always consult a healthcare professional to assess whether this therapy aligns with your specific health needs and conditions.
