Shockwave Therapy
Some persistent tendon and soft-tissue problems can be difficult to settle with exercise and activity modification alone. In appropriate cases, shockwave therapy may be used alongside hands-on treatment and rehabilitation to support recovery.
Shockwave therapy may be considered for problems such as persistent tendon pain, particularly when symptoms have been present for an extended period.
Conditions it may assist with:
-
Tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow
-
Plantar fasciitis
-
Achilles tendinopathy
-
Patellar tendinopathy / jumper’s knee
-
Rotator cuff and shoulder problems
-
Chronic muscle and tendon injuries
-
Other persistent musculoskeletal conditions
