A Non-Invasive & Effective Treatment For Regenerating & Repairing Bones, Tendons, & Other Soft Tissue to Achieve Long Lasting Pain Relief and Inflammation Reversal.
What is ShockWave Therapy?
Benefits of ShockWave Therapy
New Blood Vessel Formation
ShockWave Therapy results in new blood vessel formation, which in turn improves blood supply and oxygenation of the treated area thus supporting faster healing of both tendons and bones.
Reversal of Chronic Inflammation
ShockWave Therapy increases mast cells – a type of white blood cells found in connective tissues and a key component of the inflammatory process. When activated through ShockWave Therapy, normal healing and regenerative processes result.
Stimulation of Collagen Production
Shockwave therapy accelerates collagen production, which allows for repairing and strengthening damaged myoskeletal and ligamentous structures.
Dissolution of Calcified Fibroblasts
Micro-tears or other trauma to tendons result in calcium build-up and consequently lead to pain, swelling, and other problems, ShockWave Therapy, however, breaks up existing calcifications and allows for repair and relief.
Release of Trigger Points
Trigger points are the primary cause of back, neck, shoulder, and limb pain. ShockWave Therapy, nonetheless, can release trigger points, thus bringing forth fast and long lasting pain relief.
Long Lasting Pain Relief
Shockwave Therapy reduces the concentration of Substance P – a neurotransmitter which relays pain messages to your central nervous system and results in intense, persistent and chronic pain.
