Shockwave Therapy – Our Secret Weapon to Help You Recover from Tendon Pain or Injury

Shockwave therapy (SWT) is a non-invasive therapy that we use to help you heal from injury. Tendon injury is one of the most difficult areas of the human body to heal quickly due to its poor vascular supply. Common tendon injuries we see at the clinic are Achilles Tendinitis, Rotator cuff tendinitis or tear, Gluteal tendinopathy, Patella Tendinopathy or tendinitis and Tennis Elbow.

Healing times for these particular tendons are lengthy with timelines ranging from 6 to 18 months. At All Care, Shockwave Therapy is our secret weapon to help improve the healing times of tendons. SWT is an application of high-energy sound waves to the affected tendon that leads to stimulation of the body’s natural healing processes to promote tissue regeneration, increase blood flow and reduce pain and inflammation.

Research has shown that shockwave therapy is an effective stand-alone treatment for tendon pain.
At All Care Physio, our tendon pain treatment plan incorporates Shockwave Therapy with the other key factors to fast-track your recovery. These include the All Care Tendon Pain Rehabilitation exercise Programme, training load management, taping and screening for biomechanical risk factors.
