What is Shockwave
At Dapto Physiotherapy & Sports Injury Clinic, we offer Shockwave Therapy, a cutting-edge treatment for a variety of conditions. Shockwave Therapy is a non-invasive form of therapy that uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate healing. It is an effective treatment for conditions such as tendinitis, tennis elbow, and plantar fasciitis. Shockwave Therapy has been found to be particularly effective in treating chronic pain that has not responded to other forms of treatment.
Is it Painful?
Shockwave therapy is a safe, non-invasive treatment that can be used to reduce pain without surgery. Patients typically feel some discomfort during the procedure but it's not too bad and the specialists at Dapto Physiotherapy & Sports Injury Clinic will help adjust how they use shock waves if needed. Shockwave therapy works by sending sound waves through the body to the source of pain. The sound waves create tiny bubbles in the tissue which help to break up the pain.
Treating Heel Spur
Dapto Physiotherapy & Sports Injury Clinic offers shockwave therapy, a cutting-edge treatment for Plantar Fasciitis (Heel Spur). Plantar Fasciitis is a condition that causes heel pain. It is caused by inflammation of the Plantar Fascia, a band of tissue that runs along the bottom of the foot. Plantar Fasciitis is a common condition, especially among runners. It can be treated with rest, ice, and over-the-counter pain relievers. However, severe cases may require physical therapy or surgery. Shockwave therapy is a newer treatment for Plantar Fasciitis that is showing promise. In addition, Shockwave therapy has been shown to be effective in reducing pain and inflammation and promoting faster healing.
