Runner’s knee is a common issue that causes pain around the kneecap, often affecting runners and athletes. At MG Osteopathy in Hackney, shockwave therapy is used as an effective, non-invasive treatment to accelerate healing and reduce pain associated with this condition.
What is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy (ESWT) uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate healing in damaged tissues. This treatment enhances blood flow, promotes collagen production, reduces pain, and breaks down scar tissue, all of which are crucial for healing runner’s knee.
Benefits of Shockwave Therapy for Runner’s Knee
- Faster Recovery: Shockwave treatment speeds up the healing process, helping you return to your activities sooner.
- Non-Invasive: It’s a safe, drug-free alternative to surgery with minimal downtime.
