Benefits of ShockWave Therapy:
ShockWave therapy offers a range of significant benefits, including:
- Stimulation of new blood vessel formation: This enhances blood flow and oxygen supply to the affected area, promoting the repair and regeneration of damaged tissues.
- Release of trigger points: Tight trigger points, commonly located in the back, neck, shoulders, and limbs, can cause significant pain. ShockWave therapy helps alleviate these points of tension.
- Reduction of chronic inflammation: ShockWave therapy boosts mast cell activity, helping reverse inflammation and aid in the healing process.
- Breakdown of calcium deposits: Calcium build-up, often caused by micro-tears or trauma to tendons, is broken down, allowing for better tissue function and pain relief.
- Lowering of Substance P levels: Substance P is a neurotransmitter linked to intense, chronic pain, and ShockWave therapy helps reduce its levels, leading to less discomfort.
Some patients exhibit immediate pain relief following the treatment, while others may take a few days to notice improvements. To achieve optimal recovery, it’s recommended that physical activity be avoided for 48 hours post-procedure.
