WHAT IS SHOCKWAVE THERAPY ?

Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) is a non-invasive treatment in which a device is used to pass acoustic (sound) waves through tissue to the affected area, it can be utilised in the treatment of tendinopathies, joint capsule conditions, as a muscle trigger point therapy & in some other specific presentations such as bursitis conditions.
The shockwaves stimulate the body’s own healing mechanisms facilitating repair to the damaged areas. You will be treated by a physiotherapist certified to treat your condition with shockwave.
