FRIENDS of Cardigan and Community Health Care have funded and presented another vital piece of equipment to Cardigan Integrated Care Centre.
And there is already a waiting list for treatments using the new Shock Wave machine for conditions related to muscles, ligament and tendons, focusing on pain management and promoting healing.
Patients normally receive a series of three treatments spread over three weeks so the availability of such a machine at Cardigan ICC avoids the need for patients to make the arduous trip to Glangwili or Withybush Hospitals.
Back in April the Friends donated a £91,000 state-of-the-art scanner – to be used for women's health issues as well as a diagnostic tool for other conditions – which was described as ‘a game-changer’ by a senior member of staff at the ICC.
It is all part of an ongoing campaign to transform services offered at the centre on Rhodfa’r Felin as well as helping to relieve the burden currently being shouldered by staff at local hospitals.
