Altona Physio offers shock wave therapy as a highly effective treatment option for chronic musculoskeletal conditions. This advanced therapy is particularly beneficial for addressing myofascial pain syndrome, trigger points, local tender spots, and painful areas. 

Shockwave therapy involves sending high-frequency shock waves to the injured tendon to stimulate healing, tissue regeneration and a reduction in symptoms.

Shockwave therapy has proven to be successful in treating various tendinopathies. They include plantar fasciitis, tennis/ golfer’s elbow, Achilles tendinopathy, frozen shoulder, trochanteric bursitis, among others.

At Altona Physio, we are committed to delivering personalized care and utilizing innovative treatments to help you recover and improve your overall well-being.
