Shockwave therapy has been used for over 20 Years in Europe and 10 years in North America to treat a variety of medical conditions. Shockwave therapy is non surgical, has no side effects, accelerates healing of injured tissue, and is covered by most insurance companies.
Shockwave therapy is a series of high-energy sound waves that are directed to an injured tissue. The treatment produces an inflammatory response. The body responds by increasing metabolic activity around the site of pain. This stimulates and accelerates the healing process. It furthermore breaks down scar tissue and calcifications. Finally Shockwave therapy blocks the transmission of pain.
Results with proven research and success
A typical treatment of shockwave lasts between 5-10 minutes. Normally three treatments are necessary at weekly intervals; there is a small possibility that 2 additional treatments may be necessary if your condition is very chronic.
Shockwave therapy has been subjected to more valid scientific study than any other modality in physical medicine. The results far exceed other types of modalities and have been published in numerous well respected medical journals. Here are a few examples:
91% success rate calcific tendonitis of the shoulder
Journal of American Medical Association 2003
90% success rate plantar fasciitis
The Journal of Orthopaedic Research 2005
77% success rate tennis elbow
The Journal of Orthopaedics 2005
Below is a radiograph of a patient that had been suffering from calcific tendonitis of the rotator cuff for numerous years, after receiving Shockwave Therapy along with chiropractic care he was able to recover completely after 6 months and showed significant improvement after just 6 weeks.
From the scientific research we know that overall, Shockwave Therapy has excellent results but combined with Chiropractic care, Dr Singh believes we can achieve over 90% success rate with a variety of chronic conditions
