Activate Your Body's Natural Healing Abilities with Shockwave Therapy
Extremely invasive procedures and endless medications aren’t always the solution. Shockwave therapy is a more natural and effective approach that has been used by many medical practitioners worldwide. This method has been proven effective for several conditions, including chronic pain, muscle injuries, sports injuries, and joint pain.
What Is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses sound waves to stimulate healing in injured or painful areas of the body. It helps reduce pain, improve circulation, and speed up the healing process for conditions like muscle injuries, tendonitis, and joint pain. This therapy is safe, effective, and often used for people dealing with chronic pain or slow-healing injuries.
PMP Pain Center consists of a skilled team of licensed physical therapists who are dedicated to your overall well-being. For this procedure, we use our extracorporeal shockwave machine to deliver the most effective treatment for your condition.
Common Conditions Treated with Shockwave Therapy
Extracorporeal shockwave therapy is widely used in physiotherapy to address a wide range of conditions. Since it has been shown to be effective in increasing circulation around injured soft tissues and reducing pain by overstimulation of the nerve endings, it has become a popular physical therapy treatment option for the following conditions:
- Stress fractures
- Plantar fasciitis
- Golfer’s elbow
