Pain Reduction
Acoustic stimulation may help reduce pain sensitivity in chronic tendon and fascia-related conditions.
Advanced Physiotherapy Service
Shock Wave Therapy
Dr. Zope's Orthopedic & Physiotherapy Center offers shock wave therapy as a non-surgical treatment option for selected tendon, heel, shoulder, and chronic pain conditions with a focus on pain relief and functional recovery.
Overview
Shock wave therapy for persistent tendon and soft-tissue pain
Shock wave therapy uses focused acoustic energy to stimulate tissue response in painful or slow-healing regions. It is often considered when pain has become chronic and conservative measures have not provided enough relief.
At Dr. Zope's Orthopedic & Physiotherapy Center, this therapy is used in selected cases to support pain reduction, improved tissue healing, and better function in non-operative rehabilitation programs.
Benefits
