Shockwave Therapy
Advanced Treatment for Pain Relief & Tissue Recovery:
At Mornington Peninsula Health, we offer shockwave therapy, a non-invasive treatment designed to help manage persistent musculoskeletal pain, stimulate the body’s natural healing response and support tissue recovery.
Shockwave therapy is commonly used for chronic tendon conditions, soft tissue injuries and ongoing pain that has not responded adequately to other treatments.
What Is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy, also known as Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT), uses targeted acoustic waves delivered into affected tissues.
These acoustic waves stimulate biological responses within the tissue that may help promote healing, improve local circulation and reduce pain sensitivity.
It is a non-surgical treatment that can be incorporated into a broader rehabilitation and musculoskeletal management plan.
How Does Shockwave Therapy Work?
During treatment, a handheld device delivers controlled acoustic pulses to the affected area.
These pulses may help to:
- Stimulate the body’s natural tissue repair processes.
- Encourage local blood circulation.
- Reduce pain sensitivity.
- Support tendon and soft tissue recovery.
- Improve movement and physical function.
What Conditions Can Shockwave Therapy Treat?
Shockwave therapy may be suitable for a range of musculoskeletal conditions, including:
- Plantar fasciitis (plantar heel pain)
- Achilles tendinopathy
- Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylalgia)
- Golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylalgia)
- Shoulder calcific tendinopathy
- Greater trochanteric pain syndrome (lateral hip pain)
- Gluteal tendinopathy
- Patellar tendinopathy (jumper’s knee)
