Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave Treatment Revolutionary Approach to Pain Relief at PointHealth.
Shockwave Therapy At PointHealth
Are you dealing with chronic pain or tendon injuries that limit your daily activities? At PointHealth, we offer Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (SWT), a non-invasive treatment proven to stimulate the body’s natural healing process, reduce pain, and promote recovery from a variety of musculoskeletal conditions.
What is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave Therapy is a cutting-edge treatment that uses high-energy sound waves to target injured tissues. These shockwaves create mechanical pressure and tension on the tissue, improving circulation and promoting healing at a cellular level. Unlike low-energy shockwaves, which only generate mild pressure waves, high energy shockwaves break the sound barrier, offering deeper penetration and more effective results.
High Energy vs. Low Energy Shockwave Treatment
It’s important to distinguish between high energy and low energy shockwave therapy. High energy shockwaves are much more intense and focused, making them ideal for treating chronic and severe conditions. Low energy shockwaves, on the other hand, travel at a slower speed and do not break the sound barrier, resulting in less energy applied to the tissue. While low energy SWT can still be effective, high energy shockwave therapy tends to offer more substantial results, especially for chronic injuries.
Benefits of Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave treatment offers numerous benefits, including:
- Non-invasive treatment: SWT does not require surgery or lengthy recovery times.
- Effective pain relief: It reduces both short-term and long-term pain by targeting damaged tissue and recalibrating pain receptors.
- Accelerated healing: It promotes tissue regeneration, helping you recover faster from chronic injuries.
- Breaks down calcifications: Shockwave therapy helps dissolve calcium deposits that often cause pain and discomfort.
Conditions Treated with Shockwave Therapy
This therapy is highly effective for chronic conditions that affect medium to large-sized tendons and their insertions on bone. Some common conditions treated with SWT include:
- Plantar Fasciitis
- Achilles Tendonitis
- Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylosis)
- Golfer’s Elbow (Medial Epicondylosis)
- Calcific Tendonitis
- Patellar Tendonitis (Jumper’s Knee)
- Morton’s Neuroma
- Chronic Stress Fractures
If you suffer from any of these conditions, shockwave therapy could be an excellent solution to help you manage pain and promote healing without the need for surgery.
