Town Physical Therapy is excited to announce the addition of shockwave therapy to its comprehensive range of treatment options, aiming to enhance pain management and recovery for patients in the Maywood community. This advanced therapy provides a non-invasive alternative for individuals suffering from various musculoskeletal conditions, helping them regain mobility and improve their quality of life.

Understanding Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave therapy utilizes high-energy acoustic waves to target painful areas within the body. These sound waves create micro-traumas in the tissue, which stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. The therapy is particularly effective for conditions such as:

Chronic Tendonitis: Commonly affecting the elbow (tennis elbow) and shoulder (rotator cuff), this condition often leads to persistent pain and restricted movement.

Plantar Fasciitis: A leading cause of heel pain, this condition can significantly impact daily activities and mobility.

Achilles Tendinopathy: This injury affects athletes and active individuals, causing pain and stiffness in the back of the heel.

Calcific Shoulder: Deposits of calcium in the shoulder tendons can lead to severe pain and reduced range of motion.

Other Soft Tissue Injuries: Shockwave therapy is also effective for various muscle and joint conditions, promoting recovery and reducing discomfort.

Key Benefits of Shockwave Therapy

Patients who choose shockwave therapy at Town Physical Therapy can look forward to several advantages, including:

Non-Invasive and Safe: The treatment is performed without the need for anesthesia or surgery, significantly reducing the associated risks and recovery times.

Rapid Treatment Sessions: Each session typically lasts between 15 to 20 minutes, allowing for convenient scheduling without significant disruption to daily life.

Minimal Discomfort: Patients often report only mild discomfort during treatment, making it a feasible option for those who may be apprehensive about other forms of therapy.

Quick Recovery: Many patients experience noticeable improvements in pain and function after just a few sessions, with full benefits usually evident within a few weeks.

Personalized Care and Comprehensive Evaluations

At Town Physical Therapy, our commitment to personalized care ensures that each patient receives a tailored treatment plan. Before beginning shockwave therapy, patients undergo a comprehensive evaluation by our skilled physical therapists. This assessment includes a detailed medical history, physical examination, and discussion of treatment goals, ensuring that shockwave therapy aligns with the patient's specific needs.
