What is Shockwave Therapy?

Shockwave therapy, also known as Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT), is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate the healing process in injured tissues. This technique is particularly effective for treating chronic pain and promoting the regeneration of soft tissues. At The Joint Physiotherapy, our skilled therapists use shockwave therapy to address a variety of conditions, helping you achieve faster and more complete recovery.

How Does Shockwave Therapy Work?

Shockwave therapy works by delivering high-energy sound waves to the affected area, which promotes healing through several mechanisms. Here’s an overview of the key components of shockwave therapy:

Sound Wave Generation

A handheld device generates high-energy sound waves that are directed at the injured tissue.

Tissue Stimulation

The sound waves create microtrauma in the tissue, which stimulates the body’s natural healing response. This includes increased blood flow, the formation of new blood vessels, and the release of growth factors.

Pain Reduction

Shockwave therapy helps to break down calcified deposits and scar tissue, reducing pain and improving tissue mobility.

Cellular Regeneration

The therapy promotes the regeneration of soft tissues, leading to faster healing and recovery.

Benefits of Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave therapy offers numerous benefits, making it a valuable addition to your physiotherapy treatment plan. Here’s why shockwave therapy is so effective:

Pain Relief
Shockwave therapy effectively reduces chronic pain by breaking down scar tissue and calcifications.
Improved Mobility
