ShockWave Therapy

Boost recovery and relieve pain with advanced shockwave therapy at CDL Rehabilitation.

What ShockWave Therapy Are

Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses acoustic waves to promote healing, reduce pain, and improve mobility by stimulating blood flow and tissue repair.

Treatment Description

Shockwave therapy works by delivering high-energy sound waves to the affected area, which helps break down scar tissue, reduces inflammation, and promotes tissue regeneration. It is commonly used for chronic musculoskeletal pain.

What It Includes

The treatment involves the application of a hand-held device that emits high-frequency sound waves to the target area. Sessions typically last 15-20 minutes and may require multiple treatments for optimal results.

Disorders treated

What Are ShockWave Therapy Used For?

Shockwave therapy is effective for treating conditions such as plantar fasciitis, tendinitis, calcific shoulder tendonitis, heel spurs, and chronic soft tissue injuries.

Plantar Fasciitis
Shockwave therapy is effective for treating plantar fasciitis, a common cause of heel pain. The treatment stimulates healing in the plantar fascia by breaking down scar tissue and improving blood flow to the affected area.
Tendinitis
Shockwave therapy helps reduce inflammation and pain in tendons affected by tendinitis, such as in the shoulder (rotator cuff tendinitis), elbow (tennis elbow), and knee (patellar tendinitis), by promoting tissue repair and healing.
Calcific Shoulder Tendonitis
For patients with calcific shoulder tendonitis, shockwave therapy helps to dissolve calcium deposits in the tendons, reducing pain and improving range of motion in the shoulder.
Achilles Tendonitis
Shockwave therapy is used to treat Achilles tendonitis by stimulating the healing of the damaged tendon fibers and promoting blood circulation to the area, which aids in the recovery process.
Chronic Back Pain
Shockwave therapy provides relief from chronic back pain by reducing muscle tension, improving blood circulation, and promoting tissue healing in areas affected by musculoskeletal pain or injury.
Knee Pain (Osteoarthritis)
Shockwave therapy can be used to treat knee pain caused by osteoarthritis by stimulating healing in the cartilage and surrounding tissues, reducing pain, and improving joint mobility.
Hip Pain (Trochanteric Bursitis)
For patients with hip pain caused by trochanteric bursitis, shockwave therapy helps to reduce inflammation in the bursa, alleviating pain and promoting healing in the affected area, improving overall mobility.

Consequences of not treating disorders

Persistent Pain
Without shockwave therapy, pain relief for conditions like tendinitis or plantar fasciitis may be delayed or remain unresolved.
Delayed Healing Process
Lack of therapy can slow tissue repair and regeneration, especially in chronic conditions involving tendons and ligaments.
Increased Risk of Scar Tissue
Without proper treatment, injuries may develop excessive scar tissue, reducing mobility and flexibility in the affected area.
Reduced Mobility
Unaddressed conditions may lead to stiffness or limited range of motion, affecting physical performance and daily activities.
Progression to Chronic Issues
Failing to treat conditions like calcific tendinitis can lead to long-term complications, including chronic pain and reduced functionality.
