Shockwave Therapy
Ongoing joint, tendon, or muscle pain can make even everyday movement feel like hard work. Shockwave Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy acoustic waves designed to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes and may help reduce pain, encourage tissue repair, and improve movement. At Spinal Health and Wellness, it can be used on its own or alongside other therapies as part of a personalised plan to help you return to the activities you enjoy.
How Shockwave Therapy Works
Shockwave Therapy delivers controlled acoustic waves directly into the affected tissue. These waves are designed to increase blood circulation to the area, stimulate tissue repair, may help influence scar tissue and certain calcifications, help reduce pain sensitivity, and support improved mobility and function. It’s often considered for persistent or long-standing musculoskeletal conditions where healing has slowed, with the aim of encouraging the body’s natural healing processes.
Conditions Shockwave Therapy May Help Address
Shockwave Therapy may be considered as part of a treatment plan for a range of musculoskeletal conditions, including:
- Plantar fasciitis (heel pain)
- Tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow
- Shoulder pain and frozen shoulder
- Tendon injuries and tendinopathy
- Chronic knee, ankle, and wrist pain
- Bursitis
- Sports and overuse injuries
- Osteoarthritis
Your practitioner will assess your condition, medical history, and goals before determining whether Shockwave Therapy is an appropriate option for you.
A Personalised Plan Built Around Your Assessment
Every course of care starts with a thorough assessment so your practitioner can determine whether Shockwave Therapy is appropriate for your condition and how it may work alongside any other therapies you are receiving. Treatment focuses on the affected tissues identified during your assessment, and your practitioner will adjust your care plan as your condition changes over time. You’ll be kept informed at each stage, so you always understand what your care involves and why.
What to Expect as Your Treatment Progresses
Some people notice changes after their first session, while others experience more gradual improvement over several visits. Your response to treatment will depend on factors such as your condition, how long symptoms have been present, and individual healing patterns. Changes may continue between appointments as your body responds to treatment.
For many people, Shockwave Therapy is scheduled once or twice a week, with a typical course running four to eight weeks. Your practitioner will recommend the frequency and number of sessions based on your assessment and progress.
