Shockwave Therapy in Torrensville Adelaide
Hi Torrensville Adelaide – We have a new Shockwave Therapy unit!
Shockwave Therapy is a machine that applies acoustic shockwaves to a targeted tissue to improve circulation and recovery in muscle joint aches and pains.
Studies also show it can help with healing of chronic ongoing long standing injuries and conditions such as plantar fasciitis
Persistent tendon pain can make everyday activities difficult and often doesn’t improve with rest alone. At Functional Physio SA, we provide Shockwave Therapy as part of a comprehensive rehabilitation program to help stimulate healing and reduce long-standing tendon pain.
What is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave Therapy uses controlled acoustic waves to stimulate healing in damaged tendon tissue. It is most commonly used for chronic tendon conditions that have not responded to other conservative treatments.
Shockwave Therapy may help:
- Plantar fasciitis
- Achilles tendinopathy
- Tennis elbow
- Patellar tendinopathy
- Gluteal tendinopathy
- Shoulder tendon pain
Treatment is always combined with an individualised exercise program to achieve the best results.
What Should I Expect?
Most treatment sessions take around 15–20 minutes. Depending on your condition, several sessions may be recommended over a number of weeks.
Many people experience gradual improvement as healing progresses.
Why Choose Functional Physio SA?
Our physiotherapists use Shockwave Therapy only when clinically appropriate and as part of a complete rehabilitation program. We combine treatment with exercise, education and activity modification to help you achieve lasting results.
