Enjoy life, pain free: Muscle People

Chronic soft tissue injuries are amongst some of the most painful, debilitating, and frustrating injuries a person can have while also being a real challenge for clinicians to treat.

Despite this, following advances in technology, Muscle People are seeing excellent results with these stubborn injuries using Therapeutic Shockwave treatment.

Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that restarts the body’s natural healing process when rest, medication and other therapies may not be getting much response. It is especially effective for those suffering from both acute and chronic, difficult-to-treat soft tissue pathologies.

Therapeutic Shockwave was originally introduced as a medical treatment for the removal of kidney stones. However, during treatment, they also discovered the positive effects it had on bone healing and accelerated tissue healing.

For this reason, shockwave is frequently used today to treat a variety of different conditions, and if you have a niggly injury that you’re struggling to treat, then it could be for you.

This is because it enables deeper penetration into tissues and helps to reduce pain, increase circulation, release trigger points and improve patient function. Due to its negligible side effects and increasing evidence base, shockwave has become one of the fastest-growing treatment modalities within electrotherapy in the last number of years.

Given at the correct dosage, Shockwave treatment is a fantastic way to reduce your pain and improve your quality of life. There are also very few contraindications and side effects of the treatment, but your Muscle People physio will ensure there is no risk to you at your initial assessment.

If you are keen to see the results Therapeutic Shockwave can have on your stubborn injury, contact Muscle People to book a shockwave assessment today.
