Additional therapies provided by Chiro
Chiro is proud to provide patients with state-of-the-art, scientifically proven tools and methods for swift, natural healing. Benefits of using these machines are outlined below.
Shockwave Therapy
Radial Shockwave Therapy is an advanced, evidence-based treatment designed to support healing and relieve pain in damaged soft tissues such as tendons and muscles. It works by delivering low-energy pressure waves into the affected area, which helps to increase blood flow, stimulate tissue repair, reduce pain, and reactivate the body’s natural healing processes.
This non-invasive therapy is particularly effective for chronic musculoskeletal conditions, especially those that haven't responded well to other treatments.
Common Conditions Treated with Shockwave Therapy:
- Chronic Tendinopathies:
- Achilles Tendinopathy
- Patellar (Knee) Tendinopathy
- Gluteal Tendinopathy
- Adductor Tendinopathy
- Proximal Hamstring Tendinopathy
- Tennis Elbow / Golfer’s Elbow
- Distal Biceps Tendinopathy
- Calcific Tendinopathy
Other Conditions:
- Plantar Fasciitis
- Myofascial Pain Syndromes
Radial Shockwave Therapy offers a safe, drug-free, and effective option for managing pain and promoting functional recovery, especially when conventional treatments have not delivered lasting results.
Laser Therapy (PhotoBioModulation)
Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT)—also known as PhotoBioModulation—is a safe, non-invasive treatment that uses targeted light energy to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. By modulating biological activity at the cellular level, this therapy supports tissue repair, reduces inflammation, and helps relieve pain, making it a powerful tool for recovery and long-term health.
How PhotoBioModulation Works:
The light energy used in LLLT penetrates the skin and is absorbed by cells, where it enhances mitochondrial activity and promotes cellular regeneration. This process helps to:
- Enhance tissue repair and regeneration
- Reduce inflammation
- Provide pain relief
- Restore normal cellular function
Conditions Commonly Treated with LLLT:
- Arthritis, including Rheumatoid Arthritis
- Wound Healing, by accelerating recovery and minimising inflammation
Whether used as a standalone treatment or alongside other therapies, Laser Therapy offers a gentle, drug-free solution to support healing and improve overall tissue health.
Ultrasound Therapy
Ultrasound Therapy is a safe, non-invasive treatment that uses high-frequency sound waves to promote healing deep within soft tissues. These sound waves create gentle heat and mechanical vibrations that help to stimulate blood flow, reduce inflammation, and accelerate the body’s natural repair processes.
Therapeutic Benefits of Ultrasound Therapy:
- Enhanced tissue repair
- Increased local blood circulation
- Reduction of pain and muscle spasms
- Breakdown of scar tissue and adhesions
Common Uses for Ultrasound Therapy:
- Soft tissue injuries such as sprains and strains
- Tendonitis and bursitis
- Muscle spasms
- Scar tissue management
- Joint stiffness and inflammation
Ultrasound Therapy is a valuable tool to support recovery, improve mobility, and reduce discomfort—helping you get back to your best more quickly.
