Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment for pain management and injury recovery that uses sound waves to promote healing in damaged tissues. A handheld device delivers high-energy pulses that are sent to a specific area of the body.

The pressure stimulates blood flow, normalizes scar tissue, and triggers the body’s natural healing processes. No need for painkillers, this non-invasive treatment makes it an ideal therapy to speed up recovery and cure various injuries causing acute or chronic pain. 

Medical Effects

Shockwave therapy uses sound waves that deliver high-energy pulses directly to painful areas and musculoskeletal tissues affected by subacute, subchronic, and chronic conditions. This targeted energy stimulates the body’s natural healing response by promoting cell regeneration, improving blood circulation, and activating reparative processes in bones, tendons, ligaments, and other soft tissues.

Mechanisms of Action 

Shockwaves are characterized by a jump change in pressure, high amplitude and non-periodicity. As a result, shockwave therapy helps to:

• Accelerate tissue repair and cell growth

• Reduce pain

• Improve mobility and restore function

During treatment, compressed air generates energy that is transferred through the applicator into the targeted tissue. This process enhances blood circulation, breaks down scar tissue or calcifications, and supports long-term healing.
