The Science Behind Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy works by:
- Generating high-energy acoustic waves
- Transmitting these waves into injured tissues
- Stimulating cellular responses that promote healing
- Increasing blood flow to the treated area
- Breaking down scar tissue and calcium buildup
Key Features of Shockwave Therapy
- Non-invasive
No need for surgery or medication
- Quick treatment sessions
Typically 10-15 minutes
- Minimal side effects
Safe for most patients
- Versatile
Effective for various conditions
- Promotes natural healing
Stimulates the body's own repair mechanisms
How Does Shockwave Therapy Work?
The shockwave therapy process at Advanced Medical Clinics typically involves:
- Assessment of the patient's condition
- Application of a gel to the skin for better wave transmission
- The provider holding the device next to the skin
- Delivery of shockwaves into the injured tissues
- Multiple sessions over several weeks for optimal results
The shockwaves produce several therapeutic effects:
- Increase blood flow to the treated area
- Break down scar tissue and calcium buildup
- Stimulate tissue regeneration
- Promote the formation of healthy new blood vessels (angiogenesis)
- Enhance collagen synthesis
- Release growth factors into the injured tissue
- Reduce pain and inflammation
What Does Shockwave Therapy Treat?
Shockwave therapy is effective for various conditions, including:
- Plantar fasciitis
- Achilles tendinopathy
- Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis)
- Golfer's elbow (medial epicondylitis)
- Rotator cuff tendinopathy
- Patellar tendinopathy (jumper's knee)
- Calcific tendonitis of the shoulder
- Hip pain and bursitis
- Chronic neck and back pain
- Myofascial trigger points
Alternatives to Shockwave Therapy

- Surgery (in severe cases)
Shockwave therapy is often used when other conservative treatments have failed, potentially helping patients avoid more invasive procedures.
