Shock Wave Therapy

Shock Wave Therapy

Shock wave therapy is a revolutionary treatment option for individuals suffering from chronic pain conditions such as plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, tennis elbow, shoulder tendinopathy, and more. At King George Physio in Surrey, we offer shock wave therapy as part of our comprehensive approach to pain management and musculoskeletal rehabilitation.

Shock wave therapy, also known as extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT), utilizes high-energy acoustic waves to stimulate tissue repair and regeneration, reduce pain, and improve function. During a shock wave therapy session, our experienced therapists will apply focused shock waves directly to the affected area using a specialized handpiece.

These shock waves travel through the skin and into the underlying tissues, where they stimulate the body's natural healing processes by increasing blood flow, promoting the formation of new blood vessels, and triggering the release of growth factors and other biochemical mediators. This leads to accelerated tissue repair, reduced inflammation, and pain relief.

One of the key advantages of shock wave therapy is its non-invasive nature and minimal downtime. Unlike surgical procedures or injections, shock wave therapy does not require anesthesia or incisions, and most patients can return to their normal activities immediately after treatment. It's a safe and effective treatment option for individuals who have not responded to conservative therapies or are seeking alternatives to surgery.

At King George Physio, our shock wave therapy sessions typically last between 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the size and location of the treatment area. While some patients may experience immediate pain relief after the first session, others may require multiple treatments to achieve optimal results. Our experienced therapists will work closely with you to develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific condition and goals.

If you're struggling with chronic pain or musculoskeletal conditions that have not responded to traditional treatments, shock wave therapy may be the solution you've been looking for. Contact King George Physio today to schedule a consultation and learn more about how shock wave therapy can help you find relief and get back to enjoying life without pain.
