A physiotherapy initial assessment and treatment with shockwave therapy.
Shockwave treatment is a new, non-invasive therapeutic modality which utilizes high energy sound waves that can greatly accelerate the rate of tissue healing and regeneration.
The most important effect is the stimulation of new blood vessel formation (neovascularization) and pain relief. The new blood vessels improve the delivery of important chemical mediators and molecular building blocks to the damaged area, enabling the body to repair the injured tissue rapidly.
Shockwave therapy is beneficial for conditions such as golfer’s and tennis elbow, hamstring strain, rotator cuff tendonitis, calcific tendonitis, patellar tendonitis (jumper’s knee), achilles tendinopathy and plantar fasciitis.
Shockwave can be billed under Chiropractic or Physiotherapy Insurance

* Close to the womb during pregnancy
