What is Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy?
Extracorporeal shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment. It uses high-energy sound waves applied to specific areas, promoting circulation, tissue regeneration, and helping to reduce pain.
Typically ideal for stubborn or recurring soft-tissue concerns, shockwave therapy offers a precise, evidence-informed treatment option.
What Shockwave Therapy Is For
Shockwave therapy has been used in managing a wide variety of conditions. At Peninsula Physio & Rehab, we may use it to help manage:
Chronic Pain
Shockwave therapy stimulates the nerves, which may help manage and reduce pain.
Overuse Injuries
It may promote a faster recovery for conditions such as plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendonitis.
Acute Injuries
By encouraging tissue repair, shockwave therapy may help with tendon injuries and other acute concerns.
Mobility
Shockwave therapy may reduce stiffness, making movement feel more comfortable.
Injury Prevention
By maintaining healthy tissue function, shockwave therapy may help prevent future injuries.
