WAKEFIELD, Mass. - BostonChron -- HD Physical Therapy Wakefield is excited to announce the addition of Shockwave Therapy to its range of advanced rehabilitation services. This non-invasive treatment offers patients a new option for reducing chronic pain, accelerating healing, and restoring mobility.

Shockwave Therapy delivers high-energy acoustic waves to targeted areas of the body. The treatment stimulates the body's natural healing processes by increasing blood flow, remodeling scar tissue, and promoting cell regeneration. It's a non-surgical treatment option, reducing the risks associated with surgery and anesthesia, and it can provide significant pain relief, potentially reducing or eliminating the need for pain medication. It's a quick, in-office procedure with minimal discomfort and no downtime, making it ideal for busy, active patients.

"Adding Shockwave Therapy aligns with our mission to provide evidence-based, results-driven care," said Dr. Glenn D'Addario, President & co-founder at HDPT. "This newer therapy offers relief where other treatments may have stalled."

Common Conditions Treated with Shockwave Therapy:

• Tendinopathies: Conditions like Achilles tendinopathy, patellar tendinopathy (jumper's knee), tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis), golfer's elbow (medial epicondylitis), Little League elbow, etc.
• Plantar Fasciitis: A common condition causing heel pain, where shockwave therapy can help reduce pain and inflammation.
• Calcific Tendinitis: Often affecting the shoulder, this involves calcium deposits in tendons, which shockwave therapy can help break down.
• Rotator Cuff Injuries: Shockwave therapy can aid in the healing of rotator cuff tears and other shoulder injuries.
• Stress Fractures and Non-Union Fractures: Shockwave therapy can stimulate bone healing and accelerate recovery from stress fractures and non-healing bone fractures.
• Shin Splints (Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome): This condition, common in runners, can be treated with shockwave therapy to reduce pain and inflammation.
• Hamstring Injuries: Shockwave therapy can be used to treat hamstring strains and tendinopathies.
• Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome (Hip Bursitis/Tendinopathy): Shockwave therapy can help manage pain and inflammation associated with hip bursitis or tendinopathy.
• Morton's Neuroma: A condition affecting the nerves in the foot, shockwave therapy can help reduce pain and inflammation.
• Osteoarthritis: In some cases, shockwave therapy can help manage pain and improve function in joints affected by osteoarthritis.
• Myofascial Pain Syndrome: Shockwave therapy can be used to address trigger points and muscle pain.
