Shockwave

Shockwave
Picture

  
​What is shockwave? 

Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive solution for chronic pain in your shoulder, back, heel, knee or elbow. During Shockwave therapy, a high-intensity sound wave interacts with the tissues of the body. This leads to a cascade of beneficial effects such as neovascularisation ingrowth, reversal of chronic inflammation, stimulation of collagen and dissolution of calcium build-up. Stimulation of these biological mechanisms creates an optimal healing environment. As the injured area is returned to normal, functionality is restored and pain is relieved. 

Over time, acoustic waves have proven to be an effective and non-invasive method for the treatment of localized musculoskeletal pathology including: epicondylitis, heel spur and plantar fascitis, rotator cuff disorders, trigger points, variety of chronic tendinopathies and many other indications. 


Applications
 
Extracorporeal shockwave therapy is most frequently used in physiotherapy, orthopaedics and sports medicine. 

Applications in physiotherapy are mostly associated with the treatment of chronic muscular and tendon disorders, back and cervical pain and trigger points treatment. Compared to conventional manual and instrumental therapy, SWT is extremelly effective, shortens the treatment period and brings better results in long time follow-up. Most common indications include:

Painful shoulder
Epicondylitis
Low back pain
Achilles tendon pain
Patellar tendonitis
Trigger points treatment


Orthopaedical applications of shockwaves concentrate on the treatment of calcifications, painful exostoses, various tendonitis and impaired fracture healing. SW therapy brings alternative in many cases when surgical solution seems to be inevitable. Main diagnoses are:

Frozen shoulder 
Periarthritis humeroscapularis 
Calcar calcanei/heel spur 
Arthrotic changes - secondary symptoms 
Achillodynia
Lateral & ulnar epicondylitis

Shockwave therapy is very often applied in sports medicine for its soft tissue healing and regenerative effect. Thus the recovery time after injuries can be maximally reduced.

​“ I've been to Dr. Farrugia many times for Botox. He was able to put me at ease and listened carefully to what I was hoping the outcome to be. He is always willing to adjust the procedure each time if required. I feel like I look younger in a natural way. I couldn't be more pleased Thank you St. Marys Clinic.”
