Pov: Shockwave Therapy for Achilles tendinopathy - MG Osteopathy ‪@osteopathmurat‬

Shockwave therapy is a promising treatment for Achilles tendinopathy, particularly for patients who do not respond to conservative measures such as rest, physical therapy, and eccentric exercises. It is generally safe and can provide significant pain relief and functional improvement.

Achilles tendinopathy is a common condition characterized by pain, swelling, and impaired function of the Achilles tendon. It often results from overuse or repetitive stress on the tendon. One of the treatment modalities for Achilles tendinopathy is shockwave therapy.

How Does it Work?
Shockwave therapy is believed to promote healing through several mechanisms:

Increased Blood Flow: The shockwaves improve circulation to the tendon, enhancing nutrient and oxygen supply.
Cellular Repair and Regeneration: Stimulates the activity of cells involved in tissue repair and regeneration, such as fibroblasts and tenocytes.
Pain Reduction: Interrupts pain signaling pathways and promotes the release of pain-relieving substances.
Breakdown of Calcifications: Can help to dissolve calcified deposits within the tendon.
