What is shockwave therapy:
Effects Of Shock Wave Therapy:
Shock wave therapy works on multiple levels to boost your body’s healing and regenerative abilities to relieve pain effectively.
These are a few of the biological effects that stimulate your body’s natural healing and regenerative response:
• Anti-inflammatory Effect
• Angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels
• Repair and Regeneration
• Pain Relief
How does shockwave therapy work:
It uses advanced shock wave technology to produce high-energy shock waves to stimulate healing and repair in your muscles,
connective tissues, and bones. The shock waves work at a cellular level to trigger the following biological reactions:
Anti-inflammation: Shock waves can regulate the release of inflammatory mediators to reduce and prevent inflammation.
Boost growth factors: High-energy shock waves boost the release of growth factors in the affected area.
This leads to enhanced tissue and blood vessel formation.
Tissue regeneration: Shock wave therapy stimulates cell multiplication and protein synthesis for faster healing from injuries.
The shock waves also stimulate the production of new blood vessels and subsequently improve blood circulation.
This leads to more nutrients and oxygen in the affected tissues, allowing faster healing.
Hyperstimulated pain receptors: The rapid shock waves overstimulate your pain receptors and nerves.
They become numb and cannot transmit pain signals.
How Is Shockwave Therapy Done:
It is a non-invasive therapy. First, we apply a lubricant gel to aid in the penetration of the acoustic waves. Then the therapist runs
the probe over the affected area, and the shock waves travel into your deep tissues to elicit physiological reactions. It triggers your
natural healing mechanism, allowing your cell regeneration and tissue repair.
The therapist targets the affected area for only a few minutes. You can have shock wave therapy once a week for several weeks.
You may start seeing significant pain relief and improvement after about 6 to 8 weeks of shock wave treatment.
