Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment option that uses acoustic waves to stimulate healing in injured tissues. These high-energy sound waves are applied to the affected area, triggering a cascade of biological effects that can reduce pain, accelerate healing, and improve function. At Glenbarrow Physiotherapy, we utilize state-of-the-art shockwave technology to provide our patients with effective and long-lasting relief.

​

Benefits of Shockwave Therapy:

• Pain Reduction: Shockwave therapy can significantly reduce pain associated with a variety of musculoskeletal conditions.

• Accelerated Healing: It stimulates the body's natural healing processes, promoting faster tissue repair and regeneration.

• Non-Invasive: Shockwave therapy is a non-surgical alternative to traditional treatments, with minimal side effects.

• Improved Circulation: It can increase blood flow to the treated area, promoting tissue healing and reducing inflammation.

• Long-Lasting Results: Many patients experience long-term pain relief and improved function after a course of shockwave therapy.

• Reduced Need for Medication: By addressing the underlying cause of pain, shockwave therapy can help reduce the need for pain medications.
