Shockwave Pain Treatment |Pain Specialist Brookhaven, PA

Persistent Pain in Your Back, Knee, Elbow Or Hip?

In the last two years, 12 articles of interest (including systematic reviews and meta-analyses) have been published on less known indications such as low back pain, nerve entrapment, osteoarthritis or bone vascular diseases. This has made it advisable to update the recommendations and effectiveness of shock waves in these indications:

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.

    Dr. Jason and his team are the absolute best at what they do. I've been going to Discover Optimal Healthcare for more than 15 years now and they are the reason I'm able to do what I do day in and day out. For someone who suffers from chronic back pain, it would be impossible for me to be where I am today without their continued care and guidance. I'm forever grateful for all they've done and continue to do.

I'm so grateful to the doctors and staff for getting me the help I need to be pain-free! #beyondgrateful #discoveroptimalcare
