Physical therapy with Shock Wave Massage 1,000 Shots

Shock wave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate tissue repair and reduce pain in chronic musculoskeletal conditions.

General Information about Physical Therapy: Shock Wave Therapy

Shock Wave Therapy is a treatment method used to alleviate chronic pain in bones and muscles. Sometimes, it's also used to stimulate sexual function.

How does Shock Wave work?

Shock Wave energy is directed to the painful area, stimulating the body to initiate a healing process. This interrupts the cycle of chronic pain or inflammation and prompts the body to repair damaged tissues. Additionally, it stimulates the release of pain-relieving substances, reducing pain in the affected area.

Types of Shock Wave

There are two main types of Shock Waves used in physical therapy:

• Radial Shock Wave Therapy (RSWT): The shock waves disperse over a wide area, penetrating to the superficial tissue level. It is often used for muscle pain or fascia.
• Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT): High-energy shock waves penetrate deep into the tissue and are focused on a specific point. It is suitable for chronic pain in bones and muscles, especially deep-seated muscles and bones.

How often can shock wave therapy be performed?

Generally, 2-5 sessions are required, depending on the severity of the condition. It is recommended to have a gap of about 1-2 weeks between each session to allow the body to repair and recover from the chronic inflammation.

Is it painful?

During the treatment, the intensity will be adjusted to a level that the patient can tolerate. Therefore, you may feel some pain or discomfort in the treated area. The level of pain varies from person to person and the treatment site.

What conditions can shockwave therapy treat?

• Elbow pain and tendonitis   
• Plantar fasciitis   
• Chronic heel pain   
• Pain or injuries from sports   
• Chronic pain in neck, shoulder, and back muscles   
• Office syndrome   

Note: You should receive treatment from a physical medicine and rehabilitation specialist and continue treatment for better results. Shockwave therapy should be used in conjunction with exercise as recommended by your doctor.
