*NEW - Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT)
Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) is a noninvasive treatment that involves delivery of waves to injured soft tissue to reduce pain and promote healing. Shockwave is an acoustic wave which carries a high frequency to painful injuries including myoskeletal tissues with acute and chronic conditions, leading to promotion of regeneration and reparative processes of the bones, tendons and other soft tissues.
Shockwave therapy is ideal for those who have chronic tendonitis (>6 weeks.) which haven't responded to other treatment in the past.
Shockwave can be used for:
- Back - lumbar & cervical with muscular pain
- Hip - bursitis
- Feet - heel spurs, achilles tendonitis, & plantar fasciitis
- Elbow – tennis and golfers elbow
- Shoulder - calcific tendinosis
- Knee - patellar tendonitis
- Upper Leg - IT band syndrome
- Lower Leg - shin splints
TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) Therapy
A transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator (TENS) sends electrical pulses through the skin. The electrical pulses can release endorphins and other natural substances to stop pain signals in the brain creating temporary or permanent relief from pain.
TENS therapy is used for many conditions, including:
- Bursitis
- Arthritis
- Tendonitis
- Surgery
- Headaches
- Muscle Relaxation
- Pain Management
IFC (Interferential Current) Therapy
Interferential current (IFC) is the electrical stimulation of soft tissues; similar to transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), only with higher frequencies. IFC is very useful in the treatment of circulatory and muscular disorders, edema, stiffness of joints, and inflammation.
Patients will find an increase in localized blood flow to the area of concern which can reduce swelling and improve the body's natural healing process. Resulting in the removal of damaged tissue and bring nutrients necessary for healing to the injured area.
IFC can be used for:
- Neuralgia
- Sciatica
- Arthritis
- Back Pain
- Sprains & Strains
- Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy
- Pain Management
- Muscle Relaxation
