When is shockwave therapy used?
Shockwave therapy is used as an alternative treatment tool for persistent pain in tendons and connective tissue that has not responded to other conservative treatment. It may also be relevant for a tendon injury that keeps flaring up.
How shockwave therapy works
The head of the shockwave device is held against the skin over the area to be treated, usually a tendon. The device sends a series of high-frequency pressure waves into the treatment area. The aim is to trigger a physiological response in the tendon tissue that stimulates the body’s own repair processes.
