Shockwave Therapy
What is Shockwave Therapy?
The Right Move has invested in the latest medical technology and current evidence-informed treatment techniques in an effort to bring the best clinical results to patients. Storz Canada, the leading company providing medical equipment to health care professionals, has developed a top of the line Shockwave Device called the MP100.
Supported by clinical studies and scientific research, Shockwave Therapy combines the effect of different healing factors to bring about relief even if pain is persistent. Application has been shown to improve blood circulation and revascularization, improve metabolic activity and cell regeneration. Shock waves also intensify the analgesic effect by over stimulating the nerve fibres thus blocking an increase in pain stimuli.
Shockwave has demonstrated extreme effectiveness in the treatment of chronic tendinopathies, including Achilles tendonosis, patellar tendinopathies, tennis/golfers elbow, and rotator cuff tendinopathies. Effective results are also noted for plantar fasciitis and myofascial trigger points.
Ask your physiotherapist if shockwave therapy will benefit your condition.
