What is Shockwave and why is it so effective?


Why choose Portsmouth Shockwave?
Portsmouth Shockwave is proud to offer cutting-edge radial shockwave therapy, a non-invasive treatment designed to accelerate healing in damaged tissues. Radial shockwave works by delivering targeted acoustic waves to the affected area, stimulating blood circulation and enhancing cellular metabolism. This process reduces pain by desensitising nerve endings, dissolves calcific deposits, reduces inflammation, and promotes collagen production. It also helps to break down scar tissue and encourages the regeneration of healthy tissue, making it a highly effective treatment for a range of musculoskeletal conditions.
Commonly treated conditions include :-
-
Plantar fasciitis
-
Achilles tendinopathy
-
Tennis/golfer’s elbow
-
Rotator cuff tendinitis
-
Tension in chronically tight muscles
-
Patients suffering from chronic muscle pain
-
Sports injuries
-
Post-surgery recovery can benefit from this advanced treatment
Radial shockwave therapy is recognized as the gold standard for treating musculoskeletal pain, with endorsements from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE).
NICE is an independent organization that provides guidelines on effective care to advise the NHS. The guidelines advocate for its use due to its proven efficacy and safety profile. This makes an ideal choice for individuals seeking an alternative to more invasive procedures or long-term medication.
