"Have pain that just won't go away? Shockwave therapy is likely able to help with the pain you're experiencing! 💥

Shockwaves are sound waves that promote healing in damaged tissues. If you've found nothing else works, shockwave might be the thing that finally does the trick!

If you think your pain might be a “challenge” for us to heal…even better! We pride ourselves in often being able to help with the most ‘treatment resistant’ forms of pain.🍃

"Why do we use shockwave therapy? 💥

Many people have never heard of shockwave therapy. But there’s a bunch of reasons why we love it:

⚡️Backed by science: multiple studies have found shockwave to be an effective treatment for a wide range of pain complaints.
⚡️Cost Effective: fast, stable results means reduced healthcare costs in the long term.
⚡️Non-invasive: no scalpels, no pills, no scary list of possible side-effects.
⚡️YOU live pain free: Our favourite reason! The best thing about shockwave is that it often brings relief for people who have found nothing else works.

As a team, we have all had first hand experience with pain, which is why we take such great satisfaction in being able to help you find greater freedom from pain.

HAVE YOU HEARD OF SHOCKWAVE THERAPY?

Living with pain sucks, especially when treatments fail.. If you've tried everything under the sun to resolve some specific pain, there might be one tool you haven't tried yet - 💥 shockwave therapy 💥

What is shockwave therapy exactly?
How can sound heal stubborn pain and injuries?

👉🏼Shockwaves are sound waves that promote healing in damaged tissues. The shockwaves lead the body to respond by breaking down scar tissue and increasing the metabolism in the painful area.

🔥 If you've been resistant to other treatments, there’s a good chance shockwave therapy can help. Research indicates that it’s often helpful for treating pains that have been resistant to other forms of treatment.
👉🏼Keen to see if shockwave therapy might be right for you?

IT’S OFFICIAL ! We are now the only pain clinic on the lower north island using FOCUSED EXTRACORPOREAL SHOCKWAVE & RADIAL SHOCKWAVE to treat stubborn ⚡️ PAIN ⚡️!!!

And we can report that it’s scary good !!!!

Here are some key facts - In case you ever need our assistance ...

- Shockwave Therapy is a well established pain treatment - it is even used to treat pain by doctors at The Mayo Clinic - but is still seldom used in NZ.

- Shockwave Therapy has been studied extensively in peer reviewed scientific journals.

- Shockwave Therapy can be useful for relieving a wide range of soft tissue pains - It can even be used to treat calcified tendons in the shoulder and stubborn pains like plantar fasciitis.

- Shockwave Therapy is a safe non-toxic alternative to cortisone injections

- We are the only clinic on the lower north island offering Focused & Radial Shockwave Therapy for musculoskeletal pain - it’s not bragging if it’s true right ???

- We can combine Shockwave Therapy with other pain relief methods and rehab - to work on getting you out of pain LONG TERM !!! If that’s what you need.

- Individual treatment prices start at $155 ($125 concesssions). Treatments can be spread apart and fewer are often needed (compared to traditional physio / osteo / chiro approaches) so Shockwave often saves money compared with slower acting methods.

** They use this at the Mayo clinic and its been studied extensively by legit scientists - so don’t jump in the comments and ask us if it is scientifically proven - besides - do your own research it’s your body🖐

Musculoskeletal pain is no different from a 🆘red light🆘 flashing in the dashboard of your car. 🚗

The red light is not supposed to be ignored (ie. harden up)

The bulb isn’t supposed to be unscrewed just so it stops flashing (ie. voltaren & cortisone)

The answers to musculoskeletal pain are found ‘under the hood’ (ie. biomechanical analysis & in depth patient histories )

We only get a chance at real pain solutions if we are open to real understanding !!! ❤️⭐️❤️

KILLING PAIN today with EXTRACORPOREAL SOUND WAVES 😯
- breaking down SCAR TISSUE & CALCIFICATIONS - allowing TISSUE REGENERATION.🥇

We are the only clinic on the lower north island using both Radial & Focused Shockwave (sound wave)Therapy - to TREAT PAIN 🤯.

And it’s a lot of fun!!!!

Sound has been used in medicine for decades - both as a treatment and diagnostics.

We use Shockwave Therapy to manage stubborn muscle, joint and tendon pain. And even though most people havn’t even heard of that - there’s actually heaps of scientific research behind this approach.

Shockwave Therapy was originally developed in the 1980’s as a treatment for kidney stones.
Extracorporeal sound waves (like the ones we use) can break up a kidney stone and save us from needing gnarly surgery. Pretty cool!!

What’s even cooler is the fact that researchers have found that the same sound waves / shock waves that break up kidney stones can break up calcifications & scar tissue - and even trigger regeneration of musculoskeletal tissue.

Conditions that can be managed with Shockwave Therapy include - SHOULDER PAIN - CALCIFIED TENDONS - TENNIS ELBOW - WRIST & HAND PAIN - HIP PAIN - KNEE PAIN - ANKLE PAIN - FOOT PAIN - PLANTAR FASCIITIS.

Shockwave therapy can be worth considering for people who don’t fancy CORTISONE INJECTIONS - or who have not got lasting relief from them 🤕.

And in answer to the obvious question... yeah it does hurt a bit - but no more than a heap of things people sign up for at the beauty therapist.

Flick us a DM or an email if you want a free chat about whether sound waves could be the answer to your stubborn pain.

WHY ARE FOAM INSOLES SO POINTLESS ?

Our ancestors spent ALL of their time walking on natural ground - no concrete - no tarmac - no tile - no paving - no compacted gravel ! Instead it was all sand - or soil - or mud - or vegetation.

A million generations of our direct
ancestors lived that life.

For the last 5 generations of humans however - all that has changed.

Now we stomp around on hard flat surfaces all day every day. This causes unnatural strain in our joints - wasting of our muscles - and inflammation in our soft tissues.

This is the basic reason why so many millions of people report lasting pain relief from their feet to their spine with insoles.

Bearing all this in mind - and the fact that our entire body weight drops through the arch of each foot 3-6 million times per year - onto tarmac - does it seem logical or likely that a foam insole that can be depressed with the tip of a finger gives the type of support we really need in the long term ?

Many non-foam insoles and orthotics are about as flexible as a tv remote - that’s not right either. The best insole is one that sits in the Goldilocks zone - not to stiff and not too squishy.

If you want a free second opinion on whether your insoles are right for you send us a message and we’ll set that up.

PAIN RELIEF - IS MIXING OLD WITH NEW LEGIT ?

People often find it surprising that we combine modern pain management processes - with more traditional forms of treatment.

Our policy has always been to focus on the methods that make the greatest number of people feel better - regardless of whether they are ‘old’ or ‘new’ - ‘traditional’ or ‘modern’.

Some of the methods we use have been studied extensively and proven to work - others have yet to become the subject of comprehensive scientific study.

Listening to our doctors - we could be forgiven for thinking that the scientific method has been carefully applied to all the ‘old fashioned’ ways of treating pain - and that we found out they are all placebo’s. But that’s actually not the case at all!!!!!

Humanity has not spent anything like the time and money it takes to conduct a comprehensive scientific investigation into which traditional treatments actually work and which don’t.

Some of the old ways were nonsense - and we have proven that.

Some of the old ways were effective - and we have proven that too.

But most just haven’t been studied.

Which brings us to the diff between ‘scientifically unproven’ - and ‘proven unscientific’ - do you understand that those are 2 different things????

We’re a long way off from science fully and effectively weighing up the long term value of the worlds pain relief methods - which applies every bit as much to many drug and surgical procedures as it does to many traditional methods.

The great thing about most physical therapy methods is that they are very safe - this means that as patients and as practitioners we get to explore what works in the real world for US. And leave the traditional vs modern debate for the medical nerds to figure out in their own time.
