Focused Shockwave Therapy in Cessnock
Available at our Cessnock practice.
Focused Shockwave Therapy (FSWT) offers a noninvasive solution for long-term tendon and soft tissue problems. Shockwave technology is a unique therapy that aims to eliminate pain right at the point of origin, which is different from other commonly used methods.
What Is FSWT?
Focused shockwave therapy incorporates the very best technology on the market, from its development origin at STORZ MEDICAL in Switzerland. Locally addressing the affected area with shockwave therapy is designed to enhance and reset the healing pattern, using a combination of high-energy acoustic pulses, while also reducing pain and improving function.
The shockwave sessions combine the latest in quality shockwave rehabilitation equipment at the site of the problem, while our holistic chiropractic care aims to address the cause. This dual spectrum approach is aimed at helping our practice members in Cessnock, Kurri Kurri and Morisset feel better sooner and recover quicker than either therapy in isolation!
Who Can Benefit?
Shockwave sessions may help practice members in a multitude of ways, including:
- Myofascial trigger points (localised tender or painful areas)
- Plantar fasciitis
- Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis)
- Golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis)
- Achilles tendonitis
- Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS)
- Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis)
- Shin splints
- Activation of muscle and connective tissues (increased circulation)
How Does It Work?
Physical effects of FSWT include:
- A reduction in pain
- Increased local cellular metabolism
- Renewed blood vessel growth and re-vascularisation of the local area, promoting tissue healing and regeneration as well as muscle tone recovery
With very few negative side effects, focused shockwave therapy is recommended for conditions that are normally very difficult to address, and is now widely used for many therapeutic and wellness applications.
