<\/h3>\nWhat Is Shockwave Therapy?<\/h3>\n
Shockwave Therapy is a modern and highly effective addition to muscular skeletal rehabilitation.<\/p>\n
Initially used to dissolve kidney stones without the need for surgery, the use of Shockwave Therapy to treat musculo-skelatal disorders and tendon pain began in the 1990’s. Subsequent medical trials have shown a significant increase in the healing process when Shockwave Therapy is used as part of osteopathic treatment.<\/p>\n
How Does Shockwave Therapy Work?<\/h3>\n
The skill in using shockwaves lies in using low levels of mechanical energy to open up biomolecular signal pathways, activate stem cells and stimulate new cell growth.<\/p>\n
The resonance (shockwave) is able to pentrate deeply into the affected area, stimulating blood flow to facilitate deep tissue healing and removing inflammation while the shockwaves also assist in the stimulation of pro-collagen synthesis which enables tendon regeneration and repair. The resonance created by the shockwaves may also considerably reduce painful sensation by reducing nerve irritation.<\/p>\n
If you would like to find out more about how shockwave therapy works, you can watch a video on our case-studies<\/a> page.<\/p>\n Shockwave Therapy can be used to treat a wide-range of symptoms including back pain<\/a> and lower back pain, tennis elbow<\/a>, hip pain<\/a>, tendon pain and damage to tendons (including damage to the Achilles tendon). Boney Pathologies such as lower limb stress fractures and medial tibial stress shin splints may also benefit from Shockwave Therapy as part of a tailored osteopathic treatment.<\/p>\n As part of your initial consultation and diagnosis<\/a>, your Osteopath, Helen How\u00a0 will assess the\u00a0 treatment best suited to your specific requirements. Focus and\/or Radial Shockwave Therapy may be used as part of your treatment depending upon your condition and symptoms.<\/p>\n Despite the rather frightening name, Shockwave Therapy is a gentle, non-invasive treatment which can boost the natural healing abilities and stamina of the body. Osteopath Helen How is highly experienced in the use of both Radial and Focus Shockwave Therapy which she often uses as part of her sports rehabilitation treatment<\/a>.\u00a0 For many years now Helen has successfully treated both professional and amateur athletes using Shockwave Therapy and also lectures on the ways in which Focus and Radial Shockwave Therapy can be used as part of osteopathic treatment and the rehabilitation process.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”Features” module_id=”osteopathic-treatments”

The How Osteopathic Clinic in Edinburgh was the first osteopathic clinic in Scotland to provide both FOCUS SHOCKWAVES and RADIAL PRESSURE WAVES.<\/p>\n Initially used to dissolve kidney stones without the need for surgery, the use of Shockwave Therapy to treat musculoskelatal disorders and tendon pain began in the 1990's. Subsequent medical trials have shown a significant increase in the healing process when Shockwave Therapy is used as part of osteopathic treatment.<\/p>\n\n The skill in using shockwaves lies in using low levels of mechanical energy to open up biomolecular signal pathways, activate stem cells and stimulate new cell growth.Here is an excellent video of how Shockwaves work by Vennhealthcare<\/a><\/p>\n The resonance (shockwave) is able to pentrate deeply into the affected area, stimulating blood flow to facilitate deep tissue healing and removing inflammation while the shockwaves<\/a> also assist in the stimulation of pro-collagen synthesis enabling tendon regeneration and repair. The resonance created by the shockwaves may also considerably reduce painful sensation by reducing nerve irritation.\u00a0 Shockwaves boosts the cellular healing processes<\/p>\n\n Focus Shockwaves and Radial Pressure Waves can be used is a wide range of applications<\/p>\n All osteopathic treatment is centred upon the individual and so there is no comphrensive list of complaints which utlise Shockwave Therapy. As part of your initial consultation and diagnosis<\/a>, your Helen How will will assess the\u00a0 treatment best suited to your specific requirements. Shockwave Therapy may be used as part of your treatment depending upon your condition and symptoms.which exercises and stretches.<\/p>\n However, some of the conditions which are relieved by Shockwave Therapy include: back pain<\/a> and lower back pain, tennis elbow<\/a>, hip pain<\/a>, tendon pain and damage to tendons (including damage to the Achilles tendon). \u00a0Boney Pathologies such as lower limb stress Fractures and medial Tibial Stress shin splints<\/p>\nHere is a Medial Tibual Stress Fracture of Track and Field Athlete\u00a0 Recovery using FOCUS Shockwaves\n\n Despite the rather frightening name, Shockwave Therapy, it is an energy wave first used for muscular-skeletal pathologies in the early 1990s. The mechanical stimuli provided by shockwaves opoen up signal transduction pathways at cellular and molecular-biological level between the extracellular matrix and the cell interior.\u00a0 Growth factors are released.\u00a0 The activation of stem cells by ESWT is generally what sests in motion the acclerated regeneration of pathological tissue.<\/p>\nHere Focus Shockwaves are being used by Helen for\u00a0 neurosurgery post operative recovery to reduce pain,so the patient did not need high pain medications, increase mobility for his slow carefully progressed neurohabiliation recovery which took 18 months to regain full range of movement and reverse the muscles weakness, atrophy and deficits\n\n Over 30 years of running had finally caught up with my Achilles. This time the injury was so bad I had difficulty even walking. Helen has me back running again. Her experience and knowledge combined with Shock Wave Therapy, and the other machines she uses has worked wonders. Together, we also worked out a rehabilitation programme involving stretching\/exercises and long slow strength building activity.
