Shockwave Therapy
What is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses a handheld device to produce acoustic soundwaves.
These sound waves trigger your body's natural healing process to regenerate damaged muscle tissue, reduce inflammation and promote new blood vessel formation for increased circulation.
It can also decrease pain by stimulating nerve endings at the site of injury which promotes long lasting relief. Release tension, restore function and promote healing through specific methods which stimulate tissue repair and accelerate recovery.

How Shockwave Therapy Works:
The application of Shockwave Therapy creates capillary micro-ruptures in tendon and bone increasing growth indicators; eNOS, BMP, PCNA, and VEGF.
This stimulates the growth and remodeling of new arterioles. The new blood vessels improve the blood supply and oxygenation resulting in faster healing of both tendon and bone.
As a result of the increased collagen production these new fibers are forced into a longitudinal structure producing stronger tendons.
Shockwave therapy is also known for breaking up calcium deposits found in calcific tendinitis of various joints including the shoulder.
