Shockwave Therapy for Pain Relief: A Non-Invasive Option at CURAVITA Glebe

Living with chronic pain can significantly impact your quality of life. If you’re searching for a way to break free from pain and regain your active lifestyle, shockwave therapy at our CURAVITA Glebe Clinic location might be the breakthrough you need.

What is Shockwave Therapy?

Shockwave therapy is a cutting-edge, non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy acoustic waves to stimulate healing in injured tissues. It’s a safe and effective option for many conditions that haven’t responded well to other forms of treatment.

Conditions Treated with Shockwave Therapy:

Shockwave therapy has been clinically proven to help with a variety of musculoskeletal issues, including:

• Plantar fasciitis
• Achilles tendonitis
• Tennis elbow
• Golfer’s elbow
• Jumper’s knee
• Calcific tendonitis
• Frozen shoulder
• Bursitis….And more

How Does Shockwave Therapy Work?

The high-energy waves create microtrauma in the targeted tissue, which triggers your body’s natural healing response. This leads to increased blood flow, reduced inflammation, and the stimulation of new tissue growth.

What to Expect During Treatment:

A typical shockwave therapy session lasts about 5 – 10 minutes depending on the size of the treatment area and specific condition. You may feel some discomfort during the treatment, but it’s generally well-tolerated. Most patients require multiple sessions to see optimal results.

Contraindications for Shockwave Therapy:

While shockwave therapy is safe for most people, it’s not recommended for individuals who:

• Are pregnant
• Have a bleeding disorder
• Have an active infection in the treatment area
• Have certain types of cancer
• Are taking blood-thinning medications
