Shockwave Therapy
At HealthMax Physiotherapy, we use shockwave therapy which is a great, non-surgical way to treat chronic pain. Shockwave therapy uses rapid frequency vibration, often called RPW to treat areas which are inflamed and in pain. These high-frequency bursts of mechanical energy increases blood flow, reduces muscle spasms and is known to decrease pain.
The Treatment
Shockwave therapy is applied in sessions and is designed to accelerate healing while decreasing pain. Shockwave therapy stimulates cells which promotes growth and energy within the cell. The treatment also stimulates blood flow, caused more blood to reach the affected area which accelerates the healing process. Shockwave therapy also decreases muscle tones and spasms, ensuring that pain is decreased.
