Non-invasive Therapy
Shockwave Therapy, is a non-invasive technology that delivers sound waves to afflicted areas of the body and aids recovery. It has become widely accepted in clinical practice for the treatment of chronic soft tissue injuries. Results for treating chronic tendinopathies and chronic muscle injuries are seen through improved range of movement and reduction of pain.
Clinically Proven
Shockwave Therapy Machines are clinically proven, recognised by the top orthopaedic hospitals and used by high profile professional sports bodies such as, UK Athletics, Welsh Rugby Union and many Premiere League football clubs.
What are Shockwaves?
Shock waves are high-energy, audible sound waves. In rehabilitation therapy, shockwaves are transmitted to the problem area to accelerate healing. Shockwave therapy involves passing short, intense sound waves into affected tissues, which increases blood flow, has an analgesic effect and stimulates repair and regeneration. The treatment puts the cells into repair mode and allows your body to restart its own accelerated healing process.
Is Shockwave Therapy safe?
Yes. It has NICE guidance and FDA approval for a large number of indications. Shockwave Therapy performed by qualified therapists is a largely risk-free and side-effect-free method of treating musculo-skeletal conditions and chronic pain.
