below are A sampling of conditions that Shockwave therapy has very successfully treated.
If you don’t see the condition that you’ve been dealing with, come in for a consultation and find out if Shockwave is right for you.
TENDINOPATHIES
Also known as tendinitis or tendinosis, is a type of tendon disorder that results in pain, swelling, and impaired function.
TRIGGER POINTS
They form as a local contraction in a muscle bundle. These, in turn, can pull on tendons and ligaments associated with the muscle and can cause pain.
HAMSTRINGS
An excessive stretch or tear of muscle fibers and related tissues.
BURSITIS
A painful condition that affects the joints. Bursae are fluid-filled sacs that act as a cushion between bones, tendons, joints, and muscles. When these sacs become inflamed it is called bursitis.
HALLUX RIGIDUS
A disorder of the joint located at the base of the big toe. It causes pain and stiffness in the joint, and with time, it gets increasingly harder to bend the toe.
NON-HEALING ULCERS
Sores that are slow to heal or keep returning and that do not improve after four weeks or do not heal in eight weeks.
SCAR TISSUE
An area of fibrous tissue that replaces normal skin after an injury.
JUMPERS KNEE
A chronic reaction to overuse or an injury to the patellar tendon, which joins the bottom of the kneecap or patella to the shin bone.
NON UNIONS
A serious complication of a fracture and may occur when the fracture moves too much, has a poor blood supply or gets infected.
SHOULDER PAIN
Can be a result of injury or disease of the shoulder joint. Injury can affect any of the ligaments, bursae, or tendons surrounding the shoulder joint.
TENNIS ELBOW
A condition in which the outer part of the elbow becomes painful and tender. It is due to excessive use of the muscles of the back of the forearm.
PLANTAR FASCIITIS
The most common cause of heel pain. The plantar fascia is the flat band of tissue (ligament) that connects your heel bone to your toes.
Heel spur
A calcium deposit causing a bony protrusion on the underside of the heel bone.
SHIN SPLINTS
Acute pain in the shin and lower leg caused by prolonged running, typically on hard surfaces.
STRESS FRACTURES
A fracture of a bone caused by repeated, rather than sudden mechanical stress.
