Shockwave Therapy in Englewood
If you’re tired of living with persistent pain from muscle and tendon pain, consider shockwave therapy, a non-invasive treatment that stimulates the body’s natural healing process.
How Does It Work?
Also known as EPAT or extracorporeal pulse activation technology, shockwave therapy works by releasing growth factors in the injured tissue. This innovative treatment can break up calcium deposits associated with degenerative tendinopathies, making it an effective solution for difficult-to-heal ligament injuries.
Conditions It Can Address
Many issues, including the following, can be effectively treated with shockwave therapy:
- Neck Pain
- Back Pain
- Plantar fasciitis
- Achilles tendinopathy
- Jumper’s knee
- Hamstring injuries
- Hip pain
- Tennis elbow
- Rotator cuff injuries
Not only can shockwave therapy provide relief for sports-related injuries, but it can also promote healing after orthopedic surgery. For instance, if you’ve undergone hip impingement correction surgery, the surrounding tendons and ligaments may still be painful due to years of overworking and degeneration. Shockwave therapy can address this secondary issue and enhance your overall healing process.
What to Expect
During a session, Dr. Plummer will administer the treatment. By holding a shockwave device next to the skin, shockwaves are sent into the injured tissues, stimulating increased blood flow, growth hormones, and new tissue growth. There are two types of shockwave therapy: focused, which targets a small area, and radial, which delivers shockwaves over a broader area.
