SHOCKWAVE
Extracorpeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) is a highly effective, non-invasive treatment for tendon injuries, most commonly used when all conservative treatment has failed.
Conditions treated include:
Plantar fasciitis
Achilles tendinopathy
Calcific shoulder tendons
Lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow) and medial epicondylitis (golfer’s elbow)
Patellar tendinopathy
Greater trochanteric pain syndrome

This shockwave stimulates a number of localised responses that provide therapeutic effects including:
Depleting presynaptic substance P in nerve fibres – reducing pain
Improved blood circulation
Improved tendon gliding ability
Reducing neurogenic inflammation
Activation of mesenchymal stem cells and new bone formation
