Shock Wave Therapy in Kannur: How It Eliminates Chronic Pain

Shock Wave Therapy in Kannur at Manthra Health & Wellness Hospital is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy acoustic waves to stimulate healing in damaged tendons, ligaments, and bones. Dr. Pramod P.V, our Chief Physiotherapist with a PhD in Physiotherapy, uses this advanced technology to treat conditions that haven't responded to conventional physiotherapy.

Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) works by delivering acoustic waves to the affected tissue, which triggers biological responses including increased blood circulation, collagen synthesis, and cellular regeneration. Clinical studies show over 80% success rates for conditions like plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, calcific shoulder, and lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow).

Conditions treated with Shock Wave Therapy at our Kannur physiotherapy centre include: Plantar Fasciitis (heel pain), Achilles Tendinopathy, Tennis Elbow and Golfer's Elbow, Calcific Shoulder Tendinitis, Patellar Tendinopathy (jumper's knee), Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome, Shin Splints, and Non-union fractures.

The procedure takes 15–20 minutes per session. Most patients need 3–5 sessions spaced 1 week apart. Shock Wave Therapy is virtually painless, has no downtime, and eliminates the need for cortisone injections or surgery in most cases. Patients from Kannur, Thalassery, Payyanur, Kozhikode, and across North Kerala travel to Manthra Wellness for this treatment.

If you have been suffering from chronic tendon pain for more than 3 months and conventional treatments haven't helped, call us at +91 7012831925 to schedule your Shock Wave Therapy consultation at Manthra Wellness Kannur today.
