Shockwave Therapy offers a number of significant advantages as a treatment:
- No hospital admission is required, it is performed as an outpatient (clinic) treatment
- No anaesthetic is needed
- It is a non-invasive procedure (no needles and no surgery required)
- No medications required
- Treatment sessions last for an average of only 20 minutes (not including the assessment)
- A temporary pain-relieving effect is felt after treatment followed by a longer-term natural healing of the condition
- No lengthy rehabilitation, loss of mobility or time away from work
- Safe procedure with much fewer complications than surgery or injections
- Excellent clinical results even in cases that have failed to respond to other treatments
“Shockwave therapy offers two main advantages over traditional surgical methods: fewer potential complications and a faster return to normal activity.”
