Introduction

Physio Active offers Shockwave Therapy treatment as an advanced, non-invasive solution to help you manage pain and recover from various musculoskeletal conditions. Our Shockwave Therapy treatment is designed to provide effective pain relief, promote healing, and restore function.

What is Shockwave Therapy?

Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy acoustic waves to promote healing and reduce pain. The therapy is delivered through a handheld device that emits shockwaves to the affected area. The shockwaves stimulate the body’s natural healing processes, which can help to reduce inflammation and improve blood flow to the area.

At Physio Active, we use focused shockwave therapy, which is a more targeted form of treatment. This approach allows us to deliver the shockwaves precisely to the affected area, which can lead to better results and faster healing times.

Shockwave therapy can be used to treat a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions. Some of the most common conditions that we treat at Physio Active include:

What to expect during Shockwave Therapy

If you are considering shockwave therapy, you may be wondering what to expect during your treatment. At Physio Active, we will begin by conducting a thorough assessment to determine the best treatment plan for your individual needs.

During your shockwave therapy session, you will be seated comfortably while the therapist uses a handheld device to deliver shockwaves to the affected area. You may feel a slight tingling sensation or mild discomfort during the treatment, but this is typically well-tolerated by most patients.

The length of the treatment sessions may vary depending on the condition being treated, but most sessions last between 10-20 minutes. The number of sessions required will also vary depending on the severity of the condition and how well you respond to the treatment.
