Shockwave FAQs
FAQ
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive medical treatment that uses acoustic waves to promote tissue repair and alleviate pain. It is commonly used in orthopedics, physiotherapy, and sports medicine to enhance recovery from injuries and reduce pain caused by various musculoskeletal conditions.
Shockwave therapy uses mechanical high-energy sound waves to stimulate tissue at a cellular level, enhancing blood circulation and accelerating healing. In contrast, TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) uses low-voltage electrical currents to relieve pain by blocking the nerve signals that convey pain sensations to the brain. Shockwave therapy focuses more on promoting natural healing and regeneration, whereas TENS primarily aims to manage pain.
“Soft wave” shockwave therapy is a form of shockwave treatment that uses a gentler approach compared to traditional shockwave methods. It distributes energy more evenly over a broader area, which can reduce discomfort and target tissues more comprehensively, making it ideal for treating various chronic pain conditions and enhancing tissue regeneration.
Yes, shockwave therapy is highly effective for treating plantar fasciitis, a common condition causing heel pain. It helps by promoting healing of the damaged plantar fascia and reducing inflammation, which can significantly alleviate pain and improve foot function.
Shockwave therapy is generally considered safe when performed by a qualified practitioner. It is a non-invasive treatment with minimal side effects, primarily limited to transient soreness or swelling at the treatment site
The number of shockwave therapy sessions varies depending on the severity and duration of the condition being treated. Most patients typically require between 3 to 5 sessions, spaced a week apart, to achieve optimal results.
Patients may experience mild discomfort during shockwave therapy, which is often described as tolerable and not painful. The “soft wave” technology tends to be gentler and is generally well-tolerated by patients.
Shockwave therapy can treat a variety of conditions including Achilles tendinopathy, tennis elbow, rotator cuff tendinitis, hip trochanteric bursitis, and other chronic tendon issues. It is also effective in accelerating wound healing and treating certain bone healing conditions.
Yes, shockwave therapy can be used as a preventive treatment to strengthen tissues and increase their resilience, potentially preventing future injuries, especially in athletes.
Coverage for shockwave therapy varies by insurance provider and plan. It is advisable to consult with your insurance company to determine if shockwave therapy is covered under your specific plan.
Shockwave therapy is not recommended for pregnant women, individuals with blood clotting disorders, people with malignancies, or those with infections in the target area.
Many patients report some pain relief after the first or second session of shockwave therapy, but optimal results typically emerge gradually over several weeks as the body’s natural healing processes are stimulated.
