what is shockwave therapy
Have you ever suffered from a lingering sports injury or persistent ache that refused to heal? Shockwave therapy can be a game-changer, accelerating your body's natural ability to regenerate new tissue and reduce pain. This non-invasive treatment works by directly stimulating nerves at the site of the injury, providing targeted relief. It also stimulates your body's own growth factors and stem cells, helping to trigger a powerful healing response.
As the shockwaves are applied, they trigger a cascade of biological events that ultimately lead to the release of growth factors and stem cells. These powerful cells and proteins then work together to stimulate tissue repair, promote collagen synthesis, and enhance blood flow to the affected area. This targeted approach helps to jump-start your body's natural healing process, promoting faster recovery and reducing the risk of chronic pain.
How long does treatment take?
Typically, a shockwave therapy treatment plan consists of 6-7 sessions, with each session lasting around 15 minutes. The session are generally spaced out over a month's time. Patients can expect to start experiencing benefits within a few sessions, with some reporting reduced pain and an analgesic effect as early as the first session.
History behind shockwave therapy
Shockwave therapy, also known as extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT), has a rich history dating back to the late 1960s in Germany. Researchers initially explored the effects of shockwaves on the human body, and they discovered that it had a variety of effects on different tissues and structures.
One of the primary effects of shockwaves is to increase circulation around injured soft tissues, which helps to promote healing and reduce inflammation. This increased blood flow brings oxygen and nutrients to the affected area, facilitating the natural healing process.
Another important application of shockwaves is in breaking down calcified deposits, such as kidney stones or calcified tendons. The shockwaves can help to disintegrate these deposits, allowing them to be more easily eliminated from the body.
Shockwaves also have a profound effect on cellular activity, stimulating cells that generate new bone tissue and connective tissue. This can be particularly beneficial in cases where there is tissue damage or degeneration, as it can help to promote regeneration and repair.
Finally, shockwaves can also reduce pain by overstimulating nerve endings in the affected area. This can be particularly helpful in managing chronic pain conditions, as it can help to desensitize the nerve endings and reduce pain perception.
