How does Shockwave Therapy work?
During Shockwave therapy, a high-intensity, very short energy wave that interacts with the tissues of the body. This leads to a cascade of beneficial effects such as reversal of painful conditions of the musculoskeletal system. Simply put, extracorporeal shockwaves stimulate certain components within the body so the body is able to heal. In addition to stimulating the healing process, Shockwave Therapy seems to have a direct effect on nerves, diminishing pain.
Why would I get Shockwave Therapy?
What makes Shockwave Therapy unique is that it is one of the very few technologies in any field of medicine that seems to work best when an injury reaches the chronic, non-healing state. This therapy appears to be able to jump start the healing process in chronic, non-healing injuries and move them back into the acute phase of healing. Some of the benefits we offer are:
