Despite the name, Shockwave Therapy does not involve electrical shocks. Instead, it uses high-energy acoustic (sound) waves delivered through a specialized device into injured muscles, tendons, and ligaments.
These gentle sound waves create micro-trauma in the damaged tissue, triggering your body’s natural inflammatory response. This process increases blood flow, accelerates collagen production, and breaks down painful scar tissue and calcification—essentially forcing the body to restart its healing mechanism.
Shockwave therapy is particularly effective for stubborn, long-standing musculoskeletal conditions, including:
Plantar Fasciitis: Severe heel and foot arch pain.
Tennis & Golfer’s Elbow: Chronic tendon inflammation on the inner or outer elbow.
Calcific Shoulder Tendinitis: Painful calcium deposits in the rotator cuff tendons.
Achilles Tendinopathy: Stiffness and aching along the back of the ankle.
Jumper’s Knee (Patellar Tendinitis): Front knee pain aggravated by bending or jumping.
Muscle Knots & Scar Tissue: Painful myofascial trigger points in the upper back and neck.
Detailed Assessment: Our expert physical therapist evaluates your joint mobility and pinpoints the exact origin of your pain.
Comfortable Application: A clear acoustic gel is applied to the targeted area to help conduct the sound waves.
Quick Treatment: Using a handheld probe, the therapist delivers localized acoustic pulses to the affected area.
Zero Downtime: A typical session lasts just 10 to 15 minutes. You can walk out of the clinic and return to your routine immediately.
Non-Invasive Solution: No needles, injections, or invasive procedures required.
Fast & Effective: Most patients notice mobility improvements and pain reduction after 3 to 5 targeted sessions.
Treats the Root Cause: Rather than temporarily masking pain with painkillers, ESWT promotes biological tissue regeneration for long-term recovery.
1-on-1 Patient Care: At Rehab Ease, your treatment plan is completely customized to your personal recovery goals.
