Shockwave Therapy For Acute and Chronic Pain

Shockwave Therapy is a non-surgical treatment of soft tissue, bone, and joint pain.  Shockwave Therapy provides a safe, non-invasive, non-surgical alternative for those suffering with acute and chronic pain such as: knee pain, heel pain, foot pain, ankle pain, hamstring pain, back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, elbow pain, wrist pain and hand pain.  It is also used to address sports injuries, scar tissue, stress fractures, enhance bone healing, and anyone suffering from joint and tendon disorders.

There are no side effects or long term effects with shockwave therapy and no extended recovery period. Shockwave therapy improves the metabolism in the pain region, increases blood circulation, promotes and accelerates the recovery of injured tissue, and stimulates the body’s repair mechanisms. Damaged tissue gradually regenerates and eventually heals.

Shockwave Therapy:

~ Decreases muscle tension and spasms
~ Reduces pain in the affected area
~ Decreases risk of Oedema (build up of fluid in the body which causes the affected tissue becoming swollen)
~ Increases production of collagen
~ Improves metabolism and circulation
~ Increases oxygenation to the damaged tissue
~ Dissolves calcified fibroblasts (type of cell that is responsible for making collagen)

Shockwave Therapy is exceptionally good at pain management by stimulating a metabolic reaction in the affected tissue, causing stress fibers to change in their permeability. Shockwave Therapy breaks down calcific deposits which induces an analgesic reaction, which blocks pain messages.

During a Shockwave treatment, a high-intensity sound wave interacts with the tissues of the body, effectively re-injuring the area on a cellular level and breaking up scarring that has occurred in the tendons and ligaments.  The controlled re-injuring of tissue allows the body to regenerate blood vessels and bone cells.  The resulting re-vascularization leads to faster healing, reversal of chronic inflammation, stimulation of collagen and a return to pre-injury activity levels.

Is Shockwave Therapy Right For Me?

shockwave therapyShockwave Therapy is a non-surgical treatment of soft tissue, bone, and joint pain.  Shockwave treatments send high-energy mechanical pulses to an injured area. These high-energy mechanical pulses stimulate the breakdown of scar tissue, improves blood circulation, and decreases inflammation; which helps speed up healing and recovery times.

Shockwave therapy can help in the treatment of:

Heel spurs / Plantar fasciitis / achilles tendonitis / Tennis elbow / chronic muscular pain / Bursitis / Patellar tendonitis / Jumpers knee / Stress fractures /Lumbar & cervical spine injuries

During a Shockwave  treatment, a high-intensity sound wave interacts with the tissues of the body, effectively reinjuring the area on a cellular level and breaking up scarring that has penetrated tendons and ligaments.  The controlled reinjuring of tissue allows the body to regenerate blood vessels and bone cells.  The resulting revascularization leads to faster healing, reversal of chronic inflammation, stimulation of collagen and a return to pre-injury activity levels.

Shockwave therapy enhances the healing process, fights inflammation, and eliminates pain by:

  • Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) sending high-energy mechanical pulses to the treatment area.
  • These high-energy mechanical pulses stimulate the breakdown of scar tissue and fibroblasts in the targeted area thus improving blood circulation in the area
  • These pulses also initiate metabolic activity and an inflammatory response that promotes and stimulates healing.

Shockwave Therapy is particularly good at pain management by stimulating a metabolic reaction in the affected tissue, which induces an analgesic reaction which blocks pain messages.  Shockwave therapy also stimulates the production of collagen. These newly created collagen fibers become more dense and stiff and creates a firmer and stronger structure.

Shockwave therapy increases blood circulation,  promotes and accelerates the recovery of injured tissue and stimulates the body’s repair mechanisms, with damaged tissue gradually regenerating and eventually healing.
