Shockwave Therapy Galway

An introduction to Shockwave Therapy (SWT)

Shockwave Therapy treatment is a highly effective treatment available for patients with chronic tendon disorders, and is used widely by Sports Physicians & Orthopaedic Surgeons. This is a very successful second line treatment for patients who fail to respond to appropriate physiotherapy.

Shockwave therapy is a non surgical treatment, and works by delivering impulses of energy, targeted to specific damaged tissues within the abnormal tendon. This increases the blood flow within the affected area, stimulating cell regeneration and healing, and decreasing local factors which can cause pain.
