How does Shockwave Therapy work?
Shockwave is an FDA-approved treatment that uses focused ultrasonic sound waves to stimulate new cell growth in damaged or injured tissue. Over the last 20 years, shockwave has been proven effective against chronic pain and inflammation, even in long standing tendinopathies that have been resistant to standard PT.
Shockwave works to reduce inflammation and heal tissue by creating microscopic tears which stimulate the growth of new blood vessels that increase blood flow and oxygenation — and that means faster healing. It also stimulates collagen production, which is a vital component to muscle and tendon tissues.
Other benefits include reduction of calcification in damaged tendons, like the rotator cuff and plantar fasciitis, reduction of trigger points, and reduction of pain.
