Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave therapy delivers pneumatically-generated acoustic waves, or ‘shockwaves’ through a gel medium that is applied to an injured tissue. These shockwaves carry energy that promote tissue healing through a process called mechanotransduction. This triggers the release of growth factors leading to the formation of new capillaries and the release of nitric oxide which causes vasodilation, improving blood flow.

Shockwave therapy is effective in providing pain relief from chronic over-use injuries and tendinopathies such as:

• Jumper’s knee

• Golfer’s elbow

• Tennis elbow

• Plantar Fasciitis

• Rotator cuff tendinopathy

• Achilles tendinopathy

These injuries can be debilitating and stop you from doing what you love most. Book an assessment with the heal space team to find out of shockwave therapy is right for you!
