Shock Wave Treatment – Conditions Treated
Shock wave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy acoustic waves that promotes healing and pain relief in damaged areas.

Learn About Shock Wave Therapy
At Physicians Rehabilitation, we specialize in Shock Wave Therapy to treat a variety of conditions, including:

Biomechanical Therapies:
Shock Wave Therapy can help address mechanical issues with movement and alignment. By targeting the muscles and tendons responsible for body mechanics, the therapy encourages tissue repair and optimizes movement patterns.

Myofascial Trigger Points:
These are tight, painful areas within muscles that can cause referred pain and discomfort. Shock Wave Therapy helps break down these trigger points, improving blood flow and relieving tension in the affected muscle groups.

Disorders of Tendon Insertions:
Tendonitis can occur when tendons become inflamed at the point where they attach to bones. Shock wave therapy stimulates blood circulation and promotes tissue regeneration, accelerating the healing process.

Activation of Muscles and Connective Tissue
Shock waves also help activate dormant muscles and connective tissues, restoring function and mobility. By stimulating the fibers within these structures, the therapy promotes tissue regeneration and reduces stiffness or pain.
