How Shockwave Therapy Treats Chronic Muscle and Joint Pain in Chennai
What is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave Therapy is a non-invasive physiotherapy treatment that uses acoustic sound waves to stimulate healing in muscles, tendons, and joints. These waves improve blood circulation, accelerate tissue repair, and break down calcifications, making it a popular choice for treating chronic pain without surgery or medication.
Conditions Treated with Shockwave Therapy
- ✔ Plantar Fasciitis (Heel Pain)
- ✔ Tennis Elbow / Golfer’s Elbow
- ✔ Shoulder Tendinitis
- ✔ Achilles Tendinopathy
- ✔ Calcific Tendonitis
- ✔ Chronic Neck & Back Pain
- ✔ Trigger Points and Muscle Knots
At Elite Advance Physiotherapy & Women’s Clinic, Chennai, we recommend this treatment for patients who have tried traditional physiotherapy with limited success.
What Happens During a Shockwave Therapy Session?
- A gel is applied to the treatment area for better sound wave transmission.
- A handheld shockwave device delivers controlled acoustic pulses to the affected tissue.
- Each session lasts 15–20 minutes, and most patients need 3–5 sessions spaced a week apart.
Is it painful? Some patients feel mild discomfort during treatment, but it is well-tolerated and requires no downtime.
Success Rates & Research
Studies show that 70–80% of patients experience significant pain relief after a few sessions. Research confirms that shockwave therapy reduces inflammation, improves blood flow, and promotes tissue regeneration, making it ideal for chronic musculoskeletal pain.
