Shockwave Therapy

Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy acoustic waves to stimulate healing in chronic musculoskeletal conditions. These sound waves pass through the skin and soft tissues to reach the injured area, where they initiate a biological healing response known as mechanotransduction.

Shockwave therapy is particularly effective for chronic tendon conditions that have not responded to other treatments. The acoustic waves break down calcific deposits, stimulate collagen production, increase blood flow, and promote the release of growth factors: all of which contribute to tissue repair and regeneration.

At Actilife Physiotherapy, we use modern shockwave devices calibrated to deliver the appropriate energy level for your specific condition. Treatment sessions are relatively quick with no downtime required
