Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy, or extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT), involves the application of high-energy acoustic waves to injured areas of the body. These shockwaves penetrate deep into tissues, promoting cellular regeneration and enhancing blood flow. The therapy stimulates the body’s natural healing processes, reducing inflammation and breaking down scar tissue. ESWT is non-invasive, meaning it does not require surgery or significant downtime, making it an attractive option for treating conditions like tendinitis, plantar fasciitis, and other musculoskeletal injuries.
For athletes, shockwave therapy offers significant benefits in accelerating healing and returning to peak performance. Injuries that traditionally require lengthy recovery periods can heal faster with ESWT, allowing athletes to resume training and competition sooner. The therapy not only alleviates pain but also strengthens the affected tissues, reducing the risk of re-injury. By improving blood circulation and enhancing cellular repair mechanisms, shockwave therapy supports optimal recovery, enabling athletes to maintain their physical conditioning and competitive edge.
Shockwave case study in female crossfit athlete.
Athlete is 30+ y/o competitive crossfit female athlete with a 6+ month history of hip pain. Pain which was limiting her training and causing her to get up at night and “roll it out” due to waking with the pain.
