What Is Shockwave Therapy?
A shockwave is defined as a wave with a rapid increase of pressure within a very short time and then having a gradual decrease of pressure with a small negative pressure phase. Shockwave therapy in Midtown East and Penn Plaza, NY can offer such help, jump-starting the body’s ability to regenerate new tissue. It also decreases your pain by directly stimulating your nerves at the site of the injury. Though the name of the treatment makes it sound painful, it’s only mildly uncomfortable for most people.
The treatment is commonly used to address conditions such as:
- Tendinitis: Shockwave therapy is often used to treat conditions like Achilles tendinitis, tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis), and patellar tendinitis. It can help stimulate the healing of damaged tendons.
- Plantar Fasciitis: This therapy is effective in relieving pain and inflammation in the plantar fascia, a band of tissue that connects the heel bone to the toes and often causes heel pain.
- Calcific Shoulder Tendinopathy: Shockwave therapy can break down calcium deposits in the shoulder, which is a common cause of pain and restricted shoulder movement.
- Muscle Injuries: It may be used for conditions like myofascial trigger points and certain muscle injuries to reduce pain and stimulate tissue repair.
- Bone Healing: Shockwave therapy has also been explored for promoting the healing of non-union fractures and stress fractures.
