Focal Shockwave Therapy was first developed in the 1980s as a treatment for kidney stones. Later, researchers discovered that the therapy had potential as a treatment for musculoskeletal conditions such as plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, and tennis elbow. The use of Focal Shockwave Therapy in the United States began in the late 1990s, and since then, it has become a popular and effective treatment for a range of musculoskeletal conditions.
It is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate healing in damaged tissues. The sound waves are directed to the affected area and penetrate deep into the tissue, promoting the regeneration of damaged cells and increasing blood flow to the area. The procedure involves applying a gel to the skin, and then a handheld device is used to deliver the sound waves to the affected area. The entire procedure is painless and requires no anesthesia, and most patients experience minimal discomfort during the treatment.
Focal Shockwave Therapy is an effective treatment for various musculoskeletal conditions. It has been shown to be particularly effective for treating:
Focal Shockwave Therapy also promotes healing in chronic wounds and bone growth in non-union fractures. As a non-invasive treatment that has been shown to be effective in treating various musculoskeletal conditions, your Rehab Wellness medical professional may suggest this therapy to their comprehensive approach to pain management and injury recovery.
