The December issue of the APTA Magazine (American Physical Therapy Association) featured an article on the use of Shockwave Therapy in Physical Therapy!
⭐️This is exciting news to see this modality gaining traction in our profession! Here at Springfield Physical Therapy we implemented this treatment earlier this summer and have seen some amazing results. Like many PTs in this article suggested we have seen it to be particularly helpful in chronic musculoskeletal conditions where first line treatments have not been successful. We have found that while immediate relief is often achieved with one treatment, healing still takes time and often requires 5 to 10 treatments as well as concurrent efforts of stretching, exercise and often some postural or body mechanic retraining. 💪🏻
⭐️ If you are struggling with chronic pain (plantar fasciitis, achilles tendinopathy, elbow or shoulder tendonitis, low back pain) and you feel like you have tried everything else this is a treatment you will want to try! ⭐️
