Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment method where high-energy sound waves are introduced into the painful areas of the body. These sound waves activate previously inactive cells, driving the formation of new cells that replace damaged tissues. Shockwave therapy accelerates the healing process in the body by enhancing blood flow to the specific area and may induce vasodilation and angiogenesis. This enhanced blood circulation can help to regenerate damaged tissue. These waves promote neovascularization at the tendon-bone junction, stimulate proliferation of tenocytes & stimulate collagen synthesis.
Shockwave therapy can be utilized to effectively treat both acute and chronic musculoskeletal injuries. Treatable conditions include:
Gel is applied to the treatment area; acoustic sound waves (pressure waves) are then released through the applicator as it is moved over the treatment area. Beneficial effects are often experienced after only 1 or 2 treatments and there is no downtime. Many patients report immediate pain relief after treatment. The shockwave technology has a 91% success rate as per clinical studies, and patients treated report being pain free and /or have a significant reduction in pain. This non-surgical therapy for pain eliminates pain and restores mobility, thus improving the patient’s quality of life.
