What Are The Benefits of Shockwave Therapy?
Soundwave stimulation of the injured region has various biological effects that promote tissue healing by:
Promoting new blood vessel formation
Radial shockwave therapy produces micro ruptures to the area which stimulate the body’s natural response to injury, boosting blood, nutrients and oxygen supply to the area.
Reducing the production of Substance P
Substance P- a natural chemical substance found in the body, is proven to be related to chronic and acute pain. Shockwave therapy reduces the concentration of Substance P within the injured tissue, which in turn reduces pain.
Reversal of chronic inflammation
Shockwave therapy can stimulate the body to resume the healing and regeneration process in cases of chronic inflammation.
Will I Experience Any Pain During or After Shockwave Therapy?
During shockwave therapy sessions you may feel some discomfort, however, shockwave therapy only lasts a few minutes any discomfort felt during the sessions is usually tolerable. What’s more, based on your tolerance, the intensity of the shockwave will be adjusted. If you experience any discomfort during your session your therapist will adjust the settings accordingly to avoid this.
Most clients will experience instant pain reduction after shockwave therapy. However, 2-4 hours after treatment some patients may experience mild but bearable discomfort. This is to be expected and completely normal.
