Shockwave
Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy is a treatment that uses high-energy sound waves to treat chronic pain related to musculoskeletal issues. It is particularly effective for conditions where there is long-lasting pain or inflammation, such as in tendons, muscles, or bones.
What is Shockwave Therapy? Shockwave refers to high-energy sound waves that are transmitted into tissues or parts of the body experiencing pain. These waves stimulate the body to undergo changes by enhancing blood circulation and boosting cellular metabolism. They also activate fibroblast cells, which play a key role in tissue repair. This process essentially causes a controlled “re-injury” in the tissue, prompting the body's natural healing and repair mechanisms.
Additionally, shockwave therapy helps reduce pain by using the gate control theory of pain, which interrupts pain signals from reaching the brain. This makes it an ideal treatment for chronic pain conditions such as long-term tendon inflammation and stimulating bone tissue repair.
Benefits of Shockwave Therapy(Shockwave therapy)
This non-invasive treatment is commonly used for conditions like chronic tendinitis, plantar fasciitis, calcific shoulder tendinopathy, and more, making it a popular option for long-term pain relief and tissue repair.
- Stimulates the formation of new blood vessels: Encourages increased blood flow to the affected area, promoting healing.
- Reduces chronic inflammation: Effective in treating persistent tendon and muscle inflammation.
- Promotes collagen production: Collagen is a key component for the repair and strengthening of damaged tissues.
- Treats calcification issues: Helps to break down calcium deposits in tissues, which can relieve pain and restore function.
- Relieves muscle tension: Helps to relax muscles that have become tight and painful due to spasms or injury.
