In the realm of innovative medical treatments, Shock Wave Therapy (SWT) has gained prominence as a non-invasive solution for various musculoskeletal conditions and chronic pain. Utilizing acoustic waves, SWT presents a promising avenue for enhanced healing and improved quality of life.
Shock Wave Therapy involves the application of high-energy acoustic waves to targeted areas of the body. These waves stimulate cellular repair and regeneration processes by promoting increased blood flow and the release of growth factors. The mechanical pressure from the shock waves also has a positive impact on tissue structure, making it particularly effective in addressing issues such as tendonitis and calcific (calcium deposits that cause inflammation and pain) shoulder conditions.
Pain Reduction: SWT has demonstrated success in alleviating pain associated with conditions like plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, and chronic joint pain.Orthopedic and Sports Enhancement has been utilizing SWT since 2016, and our medical professionals have treated hundreds of patients for conditions that benefit from SWT. Common conditions treated with SWT include plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis, patellar (kneecap) tendinitis, epicondylitis (tennis elbow), calcific shoulder (rotator cuff) tendinitis, plus many other painful joint and tendon problems. SWT reduces joint and tendon related pain with essentially no downside or risk whatsoever. SWT has been a wonderful benefit for the student athletes at Illinois State University and Illinois Wesleyan University, requiring no downtime from their sport. One of the greatest benefits of shockwave therapy has been seeing firsthand how it can prevent a patient from having to undergo surgery for one of these frustrating conditions. OSEC’s success rate with SWT mirrors the literature reported success rate, which is 70-85% effective in reducing pain substantially, with patients being pleased with their outcomes.
