Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT)
Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy or ESWT is a non-invasive outpatient procedure that delivers ultrasound guided shock applied externally into the tissue to be treated. This include conditions such as plantar fasciitis, enthesiapathies, and tendinopathies such as Achilles tendonitis, patellar tendonitis and tennis elbow.
Growth Factor Therapy
Growth Factor Therapy is a new service that aims to treat ligament and tendon injuries, articular injuries and early osteoarthritis. By concentrating the growth factors and platelets present in your blood, they promote healing by acting directly on the target cells present in the injured site.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is based on the concepts in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) developed to treat medical conditions as well as to maintain good health. It involves inserting fine needles in acu-points that are left in place for about 20 to 30 minutes. Our acupuncture service will be useful to treat musculoskeletal conditions such as sprains and strains, acute and chronic pain in the neck, back, shoulder, elbow, knee and sciatica.
