An Overview of Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave physiotherapy, first practised in 1980, is a treatment applied in the field of physiotherapy, orthopaedics, urology, sports and veterinary medicine. It aids in mobility restoration and quick relief from pain. During the initial phase, it was used to break down kidney stones in a patient through ESWT (Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy).
In this shockwave therapy treatment, a shock wave device is used to release mechanical pressure waves that transmit in three dimensions, and develop an increase in pressure within few seconds.
Being a non-surgical therapy without the consumption of painkillers, it is the quintessential treatment for speeding up the cell restoration procedure and heal various symptoms.
An Insight into the Work Procedure of Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy functions by implementing radial acoustic shockwaves to fuel self-healing. These shockwaves – are regulated through a unique device that dispenses high energy directly to the painful spots. The pressure from the shockwaves is carried to the tissue resulting in the formation of special micro-cavitation voids or bubbles. These bubbles spread, rupture and produce a force named resultant force, which propagates through the tissue and revitalise the cells and connective tissue repair.
By revitalising these cells, the Shockwave therapy triggers the self-healing mechanism inside the body. As a bonus, it also tends to develop the metabolism and gives a boost to your blood circulation. With Shockwave treatment, you ensure a faster healing of your damaged tissues, as well as, its self-regeneration, along with an inflammatory response enabling the healing procedure to take effect.

The shockwave physiotherapy treatment is increasingly proving its excellence in the field of physiotherapy. It offers a great mechanism to trigger the healing process and lowers pain during the restoration. Also, it is quite an effortless achilles tendinopathy treatment, as the therapy lasts for nearly 10-15 minutes, per session.
