In short:
‘a clinically proven and highly effective treatment for chronic soft tissue injuries’
Shock Waves are movements of extremely high pressure (energy) caused by a force. So for example an explosion results in tremendous energy being emitted from the source. This energy is transmitted away from the source in all directions.
Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) is the application of Shock Waves in the treatment of soft tissue injury using machines which produce "shock waves" of a controlled magnitude. This cutting-edge technology is used to effectively treat a wide variety of complaints including:
◾Plantar fasciitis
◾Achilles tendinopathy
◾Jumper's knee
◾Medial tibial stress syndrome
◾Osgood-schlater disease
◾Lower and upper back pain
◾Tennis elbow
◾Golfer's elbow
◾Rotator cuff tendinopathy
At the AdvanceSRM clinic RADIAL EXTRACORPOREAL SHOCK WAVE THERAPY (Radial ESWT) is used to treat clients.
Radial ESWT occurs where the kinetic energy is converted into a shock wave delivered to the target tissue through the skin. These shock waves are conveyed radially for broad treatment areas. A radial shock wave is a low energy wave which is not focused or directed towards an exact point in the body and the energy of the waves reduces as it travels through the tissues / away from the source.
