Radial Shockwave Therapy

Radial shockwave is the gold standard for managing of plantar fasciitis and tendinitis pain.

Shock wave therapy is a noninvasive treatment that involves delivery of high-intensity energy pulses to injured soft tissues in order to reduce pain and promote healing. This therapy helps accelerate the body’s healing process by breaking up scar tissue, stimulating metabolic activity and enhancing blood circulation to regenerate damaged tissue. The force created by these shockwaves stimulates cells in the body that are responsible for bone and connective tissue healing. It is a viable option to consider for many patients who present with chronic tendinopathy that hasn't responded to more-conservative treatments.

Clinical studies report success rates above 75%

The shockwaves reduce pain partly through the stimulation of the inflammatory pathway and the release of substance P and from the peripheral terminals of sensory nerve fibres.. The body itself regenerates the affected tissues, resulting in the following effects: 

  • Improved blood flow and neovascularisation

  • Increased growth factors

  • More mesenchymal stem cells

  • Stimulation of the metabolism
