Fast | Effective | Focused Pain Relief
Shockwave therapy goes by several names, depending on the area where the treatment focuses.
The therapy involves using acoustic sound waves that carry high energy to painful spots in body tissue.
The energy from the waves promotes the regeneration of bones, tendons, and other soft tissues.

FAST
During each painless treatment laser energy increases circulation, drawing water, oxygen, and nutrients to the damaged area.
This creates an optimal healing environment that reduces inflammation, swelling, muscle spasms, stiffness, and pain.
As the injured area returns to normal, function is restored and pain is relieved.
-
A typical Shockwave Therapy treatment takes between 10
and 20 minutes
-
Normally, 1-2 treatments
per week are performed
-
A total of 6-8 treatments may
be necessary for most
conditions before lasting improvement is achieved.
-
With acute pain, a single session
of Shockwave Therapy is highly successful

EFFECTIVE
Shockwave offers several therapeutic effects, including muscle relaxation, stimulation of tissue, pain relief, and improved blood flow. In addition, clinical studies and patient reports have found it to:
-
Eliminate pain
-
Facilitate healing
-
Reduce local muscle tension
-
Improve local microcirculation leading to improved tissue metabolism
-
Help dissolve calcific fibroblasts
Shockwave Therapy has also been proven useful in situations where
pain exists without known cause.
In these cases, myofascial trigger points may be the cause, and patients have experienced relief from this form of pain.

FOCUSED
The acoustic waves generated by the Shockwave Therapy
painlessly pass through the body and converge at a point deep
within the soft tissue to produce
an intense, extremely
short-duration compression event. The focused acoustic
compression is translated
to tissue to provide a massage
with pinpoint accuracy to the affected area.
Focused Shockwave Therapy
are able to penetrate deeper into the tissues and provides all of its power at the designated depth.
