Shockwave Therapy (ESWT)

Gold standard technology that speeds up healing by 40%.

What is it?

Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) sends sound waves propelled by air pressure to painful areas of the body. This creates an overt healing response, accelerating cell regeneration, increasing stem-cell production and collagen synthesis.

Used in high performance sport ESWT is a low-pain treatment that can produce sensational results in numerous injuries and conditions.

A typicalShockwave treatment program consist of six sessions over six weeks “With clinical reports showing that 69% of 149 randomly selected patients reported “excellent” results (no pain), this treatment is perfect for those suffering from painful issues. ESWT can be used on a number of different areas, from the Achilles’ tendon to back and shoulder pain and everything in between”, Paul Hobrough.

What does it do?

Shockwaves precisely bombard the injured tissue creating an overt healing response, accelerating cell regeneration, increasing stem-cell production and collagen synthesis.

Research has proven that this process:

A

Forms new blood vessels in areas with poor circulation such as tendons.

A

Increases collagen and proteoglycan production (essential in tissue regeneration).

A

Improves bone healing.

A

Improves the immune system with increased white cell production (Leukocyte infiltration).

Amplifies growth factor and protein synthesis during tissue remodeling.
