New Shock Wave Therapy Now Offered On-Site In Clinic!

SHOCK WAVE THERAPY:

For the past 20 years, Shock Wave Therapy has been used, with great success, as an effective and non-invasive treatment of a number of chronic musculoskeletal conditions including: 

• Plantar Fasciitis
• Chronic Tendonitis including Achilles Tendonitis
• Shoulder Bursitis
• Chronic Cervical and Lumbar Pain
• Epicondylitis
• Hallux Limitus
• Chronic Heel Spurs
• Painful Peripheral Neuropathy

 

• A Shock Wave is a longitudinal acoustic wave travelling with ultrasonic speed in the water of the body tissue.  This single pressure pulse with a short needle-like positive spike of less than 1 microsecond.

 

• Shock Wave Therapy works to disrupt chronic pain by introducing a healing shock into the system which promotes increased vascularity, stimulates tissue healing, reduces calcification in the tissues, increases local anti-inflammatory products and inhibits pain receptors to achieve pain relief.

 

• Researchers have shown that the local delivery of Shock Wave Therapy stimulates the early expression of angiogenesis-related growth factors, including endothelial nitric oxide synthase, vascular endothelial growth factor and proliferating cell nuclear antigen. As such, it results in new vessel in-growth that improves blood supply, increases cell proliferation and accelerates tissue regeneration and healing!
