| The treatment involves 2000 vibrations or "shocks" to an injured area. This treatment is aimed at improving healing especially for chronic injuries such as bone spurs, tendonitis or plantar fasciitis. Several treatments 1 - 2 weeks apart may be required. |
| |
| Patients are often recommended to try other measures before using shock wave therapy. Treatment should be avoided by people who are on Warfarin, who have a pace maker or who are pregnant. |
| |
| Cost of the shock wave machine is approximately $55 per session. All treatments must be paid for at the time of treatment. Currently there is no Medicare/health fund rebate for this treatment. Your practitioner will also charge you a consultation fee which is claimable from Medicare. |

| If you have any further questions or wish to make an appointment please do not hesitate to contact the Clinic. |
