What is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy was originally used in other areas of medicine, such as to break down kidney stones for passing, but just relatively recently it has been identified as an effective treatment for scarred and inflamed tissues.
A handheld wand delivers shock waves deep into the tissue. These waves create a positive pressure environment, drawing in stem cells and signaling the need for natural healing processes at the cellular level. As a result, new and healthy tissue is created, and inflammation is greatly reduced.
Especially when paired with Class IV K-laser therapy, shockwave treatment is extremely effective at relieving pain and encouraging healthy new growth for optimal tissue healing from musculoskeletal issues.
What Conditions Can Be Treated with Shockwave Therapy?
The potential uses of shockwave therapy are remarkably wide and extensive, but it is mostly utilized for joint repair, musculoskeletal conditions, and other such injuries or ailments, including the following:
- Plantar fasciitis.
- Tendonitis, including tennis elbow, carpal tunnel, and more.
- Shoulder and knee pain.
- Hamstring pain.
- Spinal stenosis or back pain.
- Stress fracture.
- Neck pain.
- Excessive scar tissue, causing discomfort.
If you have any of these issues, you may wish to consider this cutting-edge treatment to help your body recover naturally.
