Shockwave therapy is an innovative, non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy sound waves to accelerate the healing of soft tissue injuries. At Yates Physiotherapy, we use shockwave therapy to treat conditions such as tendinopathy, plantar fasciitis, and calcific shoulder tendinopathy, among others. The therapy stimulates the body’s healing processes, reducing pain and improving mobility.
During your first consultation, our experienced physiotherapists will assess your condition and determine if shockwave therapy is right for you. The treatment is safe, effective, and can provide faster results compared to traditional methods.
Shockwave therapy involves the application of acoustic waves to the affected area. These sound waves penetrate deep into the tissue, stimulating blood flow, promoting cell regeneration, and reducing inflammation. This results in faster healing and reduced pain for conditions like:
Alleviates pain and inflammation in tendon injuries.
Reduces heel pain and improves mobility.
Helps break down calcium deposits in tendons.
The treatment is quick, typically lasting around 10-15 minutes, and is designed to provide long-lasting results.
Shockwave therapy is effective in treating various musculoskeletal conditions, including:
Whether you’re a competitive athlete or someone dealing with long-standing pain, shockwave therapy can help accelerate recovery and improve function. At Yates Physiotherapy, we ensure that the therapy is tailored to meet your specific needs and condition.
Shockwave therapy offers several benefits, including:
Effectively alleviates pain in soft tissue injuries.
Increases mobility and reduces stiffness in affected areas.
Accelerates the healing process by stimulating tissue regeneration.
A safe and effective alternative to surgery or injections.
By using shockwave therapy, we aim to help you get back to your daily activities or sports with faster recovery times and improved outcomes.
At Yates Physiotherapy, our experienced physiotherapists are trained in using shockwave therapy for optimal results. We tailor each session to your specific injury, ensuring effective treatment that aligns with your recovery goals. Our goal is to provide long-lasting relief, improve your quality of life, and help you return to the activities you enjoy, pain-free.
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses acoustic sound waves to stimulate healing in injured tissues. It promotes blood flow, reduces pain, and accelerates recovery by breaking down scar tissue and enhancing cellular repair.
Shockwave therapy is effective for treating tendon injuries, plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, tennis elbow, rotator cuff injuries, and chronic muscle pain.
Most patients experience mild discomfort during treatment, but it is generally well tolerated. The intensity can be adjusted to suit your comfort level, and any soreness usually subsides quickly after the session.
The number of sessions varies depending on the condition being treated, but most patients require between 3 to 6 treatments, spaced one week apart, to achieve optimal results.
There is minimal downtime. You may experience slight soreness for 24-48 hours, but you can usually continue with daily activities. However, high-impact activities should be limited immediately after treatment.
