What is Shockwave Therapy?
Originally, shockwave therapy was used to break down kidney stones for easier passing as well as in other areas of medicine. Not too long ago, it was discovered to be effective for treating scarred and inflamed tissues as well.
A handheld device is comfortably pressed against the area and sends gentle shock waves deep into the tissue. Creating a positive pressure environment, these waves signal the need for natural healing processes at the cellular level, meaning they draw in stem cells. Consequently, new and healthy tissue grows, and inflammation goes down.
Particularly when combined with Class IV K-laser therapy, shockwave treatment has proven extremely effective at reducing pain and encouraging optimal tissue healing from musculoskeletal issues.
What Conditions Can Be Treated with Shockwave Therapy?
Although shockwave therapy can be used in a remarkably wide range of situations, it predominantly treats joints, musculoskeletal conditions, and other injured areas, such as the following:
- Excessive scar tissue, causing discomfort.
- Tendonitis, including tennis elbow, carpal tunnel, and more.
- Shoulder and knee pain.
- Spinal stenosis or back pain.
- Stress fracture.
- Neck pain.
- Plantar fasciitis.
- Neuropathy.
- Hamstring pain.
If you struggle with any of these, seriously consider receiving this treatment to jumpstart your body’s natural healing processes.
