Stemwave Treatment

Shockwave technology, also known as extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT), is a non-invasive medical treatment that uses high-energy acoustic waves to stimulate healing in various tissues of the body. It was originally developed to treat kidney stones, but its applications have expanded to various musculoskeletal conditions. 

Conditions That Can Be Treated by Shockwave Therapy include:

1. Plantar Fasciitis: Shockwave therapy can help reduce pain and inflammation in the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue in the foot. It is a common treatment for chronic plantar fasciitis.

2. Achilles Tendinopathy: Shockwave therapy can be effective in promoting healing and reducing pain in the Achilles tendon. It is often used when conservative treatments like rest, physical therapy, and medication have not been successful.

3. Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis): Shockwave therapy can help stimulate healing and reduce pain in the tendons and muscles of the forearm, which are commonly affected in tennis elbow.

4. Shoulder Pain: Shockwave therapy can be used to treat various shoulder conditions, including calcific tendinitis, rotator cuff tendinopathy, and frozen shoulder. It helps to reduce pain, improve range of motion, and promote healing.

5. Hip Pain: Shockwave therapy can be beneficial for conditions such as trochanteric bursitis, gluteal tendinopathy, and hip osteoarthritis. It helps reduce pain and inflammation in the affected area.

6. Patellar Tendinopathy (Jumper's Knee): Shockwave therapy can be used to stimulate healing and reduce pain in the patellar tendon, which is commonly affected in athletes who participate in jumping activities.
