Ultrasound and shockwave therapy in Auckland are effective methods of alleviating pain and promoting healing. At On Point Physio, we utilise these therapies to facilitate healing and recovery for patients after surgery, injury, or for individuals looking to manage certain conditions and illnesses.
Shockwave therapy utilises shockwaves to treat painful joints and muscles, often used to heal and manage musculoskeletal conditions. These shockwaves trigger the body’s natural healing response, stimulating blood flow and cell growth, resulting in reduced inflammation.
In the meantime, ultrasound therapy is a similar approach that is also used to treat musculoskeletal issues. Like shockwave therapy, it is painless and can help alleviate pain in the affected areas.

Procedure
Shockwave therapy is available in multiple sessions, with each session only lasting 5 to 10 minutes. A device is used on the skin and over the affected area, which can sometimes be mildly uncomfortable – but painless. The intensity and amount of shocks will depend on the treatment plan you have opted in for.
Meanwhile, ultrasound therapy utilises an electric current that is sent through the ultrasound wand, causing it to vibrate – of which the waves travel through the skin and tissues.
