Shockwave therapy, also known as acoustic wave therapy or pressure wave therapy, is a non-invasive treatment that involves the delivery of shock waves to an injured area to promote healing. This treatment produces highly effective shock waves that initiate a biological regeneration processes at the cellular level.
How Does Shockwave Therapy Work?
Shockwave applies acoustic waves that are introduced through the skin with a handheld device using short, frequent, and high intensity bursts of mechanical energy to deliver targeted pain relief to soft tissue that is injured, scarred, painful, inflamed or contains adhesions to areas without the need for medications or surgical procedures.
Shockwave is primarily used for pain management using short energy waves. These waves travel faster than sound and help increase the blood flow in an injured area. The increased blood flow helps to speed up the body’s natural healing process aiding Shockwave treatments trigger a cellular response that activates the body’s natural healing process aiding the healing of chronic inflammation and increasing collagen production.
