Shockwaves are essentially sound waves with a more specific wave form when compared with ultrasound wave forms. Unlike ultrasound wave forms. Shockwave therapy penetrates deeper into the tissue and thus to the site of injury. The biologic signaling effect of shockwaves is much higher than ultrasound and is therefore clinically much more effective.

  Indications                                                       

• Shoulder injuries (e.g. rotator cuff) 
• Golfer's and Tennis elbow (epicondylitis)
• Chronic foot/heel pain (plantar fasciitis) 
• Jumper's knee (patella tip syndrome) 
• Tendon and ligament injuries 
• Muscle pain

the procedure takes only 5-10 minutes. Much like the ultra sound, the treatment will be covered with gel to ensure good shock-wave transmission.

After coupling the therapy head to your body your therapist will deliver diagnosis-specific number of pulses. the energy can be applied at your personal comfort level.

success rates

More than 80% of patients report improvement even after just one treatment. depending on your condition you will likely be scheduled for 4-6+ sessions. The outcome depends on variety of factors, but most studies report a healing rate of up to 95%.
