What is Shockwave Therapy Treatment?

Shockwave therapy treatment is a non-surgical procedure. It targets damaged tissue and emits impulses of energy to increase the blood flow and stimulate healing and cell regeneration and is ideal for treating chronic pain.

Many patients see an end to long-lasting pain with shockwave therapy and enjoy the freedom that a pain-free life offers.

 

Get The Results You’ve Been Looking For

Relentless pain can wear you down, especially when it interrupts your day-to-day. Trying several remedies takes time and often money, and when nothing seems to cure the pain, it can be extremely disheartening.

Shockwave therapy treatment can treat chronic and acute hip, knee, shoulder, elbow, achilles, forearm, shin, back and feet conditions. Plantar Fasciitis is one of the most common conditions we treat using shockwave therapy, with many patients seeing great results in only a few treatments.

“Shockwave therapy offers two main advantages over traditional methods: fewer potential complications and a faster return to normal activity” (FDA).

I can be the most stubborn person when it comes to pain; family and friends most regular saying is ' stop trying to be a hero'
I guess trying to prove I can cope and continue my 'life' duties was absolutely essential, or so I thought.

Almost three years ago I had a serious fall whilst on holiday, this impacted my shoulder which in turn resulted in sleep deprivation. I kept the mindset everything will go back to normal but after six months, I obtained help from my GP. I was offered injections and diagnostic scans revealed surgery would be needed. I was against surgery and did not want such invasive measures so continued a further two years getting worse.

I finally decided to contact Life Chiropractic in Rayleigh with little faith they would offer any successful treatment to aide my calcification tendinitis of the shoulder. The reception staff are first class, making everyone that comes through their door feel at ease. I soon relaxed and cannot fault them from start to finish.

To date I have received three weeks of treatment; adjustment with Tom plus shock wave therapy with Roy. The results are amazing already and I am getting more sleep than before. Daily tasks are also becoming easier and all without surgery. Tom and Roy are professional, non judgmental and I am extremely grateful to have found them.

Why did i 'try to be a hero' after all 'Life' is for living. Huge thanks to Tom and Roy, for getting me some sleep and some pain free moments. We have a way to go but 'life' is exciting. I would highly recommend this clinic to anyone who is suffering or trying to be the hero I was - Give it a go.

What are Shockwaves?

Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy treatment (ESWT) is a non-invasive treatment with a hand-held device applied to painful areas to encourage healing. Shockwaves are high-energy sound waves transmitted to the affected area to accelerate the healing process.

The waves decrease pain in the treatment area by increasing blood flow and stimulating cell regeneration. Shockwaves break down injured tissue and calcifications, which encourages your body to heal, leaving you with less pain. This treatment offers many patients relief from long-term suffering from acute pain.

Shockwave Treatment FAQ’s

How Successful is the Treatment?

Statistics vary based on the conditions being treated, with a 60-90% success rate. Studies have shown Achilles Tendonitis (heel pain) sufferers will experience a full recovery or significant reduction in their pain and injury.

 

Is Shockwave Therapy Painful?

You may experience slight discomfort, but the pain should be tolerable. Due to the analgesic effect of Shockwave Therapy, many patients report immediate pain relief following treatment.

 

How Many Sessions Will I Need?

The number of treatment sessions will vary depending on the type of shockwave used and the condition being treated. Generally, three to six treatment sessions are advised. Your body will progress in the healing process even two to three months after treatment has stopped.

 

Can Shockwave Therapy Treat Old Injuries?

You may think old injuries are now simply part of you, but Shockwaves can treat both longterm chronic conditions and newer injuries. There is extensive evidence to show that shockwave therapy can achieve great results even with historical conditions and old injuries.
