How does Shock Wave Work?
-
Shockwave therapy delivers acoustic waves to the affected area. These waves carry energy that can stimulate blood flow, cellular metabolism, and tissue regeneration. The shockwaves act like a trigger for the body's natural healing processes. The increased blood flow and cellular activity promotes repair and regeneration of damaged tissues, including inflamed tendons, bursae or fascia.
-
Shockwave therapy is believed to help reduce inflammation by improving circulation and promoting the release of certain chemicals that modulate the body's inflammatory response. This can lead to a decrease in pain and discomfort.
-
Shockwave therapy may also stimulate nerve activity in the affected area. This can have a pain-relieving effect by disrupting pain signals and promoting the release of endorphins, which are the body's natural painkillers.
-
In some cases, chronic tissue irritation can lead to the formation of scar tissue in the affected area. Shockwave therapy's mechanical forces can help break down these scar tissues and adhesions, restoring flexibility and function.
