Shock Wave Therapy
Shockwave Therapy, also known as Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT), is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy sound waves to treat various musculoskeletal conditions.
How Shockwave Therapy Works
1. Acoustic Waves
How It Works:
Shockwave therapy uses a device to generate high-energy acoustic waves, which are delivered to the injured or painful area of the body. These waves penetrate deep into the tissues, stimulating blood circulation, promoting tissue repair, and breaking down calcified deposits.
Effect:
Increases blood flow to the injured area
Promotes the regeneration of damaged tissues
Stimulates collagen production, which is crucial for healing
2. Reducing Pain and Inflammation
How It Works:
Shockwave therapy helps block pain signals and reduce the production of inflammatory chemicals. By desensitizing nerve endings, it provides immediate pain relief and reduces inflammation in chronic or acute conditions.
Effect:
Reduces pain and discomfort
Alleviates inflammation in muscles, tendons, and ligaments
Provides long-lasting pain relief for chronic conditions
3. Breaking Down Scar Tissue and Calcifications
How It Works:
The acoustic waves can break down scar tissue and calcifications (hard deposits) that may have formed in the tendons or muscles due to chronic injury or overuse. This helps improve mobility and function in the affected area.
Effect:
Breaks up scar tissue and calcified deposits
Improves range of motion and flexibility
Accelerates the body’s healing process
