Shockwave, also known as Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy, is a relatively newmethod of treating musculoskeletal problems in Singapore.

Employing a high energy acoustic wave, shockwave induces neovascularisation (new

blood vessel growth) and tissue regeneration, thereby treating many pain conditions.It is a very powerful modality for pain relief, and when suitably applied, shockwavetherapy gives very good results especially when other treatments are not suitable.Shockwave therapy has been scientifically proven to help with:

* plantar fasciitis (foot pain)

* achilles tendinopathy (heel pain)* hip pain* knee pain* lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow)* rotator cuff tendinitis(shoulder pain)* myofascial trigger points (body aches and muscle pain)

Clinical studies have proven a success rate of more than 70%, even in cases that havefailed to respond to conventional approaches. What sets this treatment apart fromtraditional treatments is that it treats the underlying musculoskeletal pathologyinstead of just offering temporary symptomatic relief.Approved by the US FDA and EU CE marked, the German Shockwave technologyused at The Pain Relief Clinic is wisely recognized by doctors around the world.
