Let’s Get Technical
Shockwave treatment utilizes a precise application of sound waves to your injured area. The introduction of these waves creates changes in your body to help the tissues increase their healing abilities.
Shockwave Therapy helps you heal in several different ways:
- At the Cell level: Shockwave helps your cells release substances that reduce pain and reduce inflammation.
- Blood Flow: Blood flow is THE key component in healing, this treatment increases blood flow and stimulates new blood vessel growth (angiogenesis).
- Muscle Effect: Those tight muscles are not helping your pain decrease muscle spasms and tightness often caused by injuries.
- Pain Reduction: Reducing pain is on everyone’s mind and signals your nerves to calm down reducing your pain.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
The number of treatments varies considerably between patients and conditions; however, the research shows that new injuries can often be helped in 3-12 treatments spread a week apart from each other.
Chronic, nagging conditions can take longer but do respond well with the right stretching and exercise protocol paired with shockwave.
