Shockwave

Shockwave technology has been around since the 1970s, initially used to break down kidney stones. Today, focused shockwave energy treats musculoskeletal injuries such as tendinopathy, arthritis, plantar fasciitis, neuropathy, scar adhesions, and fibrosis.

 

Focused Shockwave transmits acoustic waves straight to the affected tissue, creating controlled microtrauma. This mechanical stress triggers various cellular responses essential for tissue repair and regeneration. Shockwave accelerates healing by stimulating angiogenesis, stem cell migration, and fibroblast activity. It hastens tissue repair by reducing chronic inflammation and improving tissue strength, elasticity, and function.

Effects on Tissue:

1. Angiogenesis: stimulates the formation of new blood vessels in the target tissue. Bringing new oxygenated and nutrient-rich blood to promote enhanced tissue healing.

2. Stem Cell Migration: Triggers mesenchymal stem cells for regeneration.

3. Collagen Fiber Formation: Promotes the synthesis and remodeling of collagen fibers in the extracellular matrix, which supports the structure and function of tissue.

4. Elastin Formation: Enhancing tissue elasticity and flexibility to restore mobility.

5. Fibroblast Activity: Increases fibroblast proliferation and activity for collagen production, crucial for tissue repair and regeneration.

 

Typical treatment protocols involve 1-2 sessions per week for 4-8 weeks, depending on the issue and how chronic it is. The more chronic or systemic the issue, the more sessions may be required compared to a more acute issue. Treatments typically take 15-20 minutes per area. During treatment, we scan your body for pain points and deliver shocks to those areas until the discomfort subsides. We can adjust the intensity to your tolerance, but it may be uncomfortable at first. Side effects may include mild initial soreness and bruising, which should subside fairly quickly. The discomfort helps us identify the right treatment area and activate stem and repair cells at the source. This helps restart the healing cascade.
