Shockwave Therapy
MARKHAM PLACE HEALTH CENTRE is now offering a unique non-invasive solution for pain injuries and it is called SHOCKWAVE THERAPY.
It is great to treat injuries like shoulder, back, heel, pain, hip and other injuries. It is non-invasive solution for chronic pain and there are no side effects. This therapy is a safe and effective alternative treatment for injuries and only requires a short recovery time. Clinical studies show a 70 percent success rate for treatment using Shockwave Therapy.
ESWT (Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy) sends acoustic shock waves into bone or soft tissue, in effect reinjuring the area on a cellular level and breaking up the scarring that has penetrated tendons and ligaments. The controlled reinjuring of tissue allows the body to regenerate blood vessels and bone cells. The resultingevascularization leads to faster healing and often a return to pre-injury activity levels.
What is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy is a new technique used for treatment of conditions such as tennis elbow, jumper's knee, calcification of shoulder tendons (shoulder pain) and Achilles tendon pain. Shockwave therapy is a recent development that is used successfully by healthcare providers that specialize in musculoskeletal disorders.
What happens during shockwave therapy treatment?
During Shockwave therapy, a high-intensity sound wave interacts with the tissues of the body. This leads to a cascade of beneficial effects such as neovascularisation ingrowth, reversal of chronic inflammation, stimulation of collagen and dissolution of calcium build-up.
What conditions can be treated?
Shockwave Therapy can be used to treat a wide variety of musculoskeletal conditions, in particular, those involving areas where major connective tissue
attaches to bone. Common sites that can been successfully treated are:
• Foot - plantar fasciitis & Achilles tendonitis • Knee - patellar tendinitis
