SHOCKWAVE THERAPY FAQ'S
What is Shockwave Therapy?
— Unique, non-invasive solution for musculoskeletal pain
— Just three to four treatments needed at weekly intervals
— A therapy session only takes about 10 minutes
How does Shockwave Therapy work?
A shockwave is an acoustic wave which carries high energy to painful spots and myoskeletal tissues with subacute, subchronic and chronic conditions. The energy promotes regenerating and reparative processes of the bones, tendons and other soft tissues.
How does it create an elimination of pain?
Decrease of muscle tension, inhibition of spasms
- Hyperaemia is one of the basic effects of Shockwave therapy in the body. It provides better energy supply to hypertonic muscles and their ligamentous structures. Furthermore, it causes lessening of pathological interactions between actin and myosin. This leads to significant reduction of muscle tension.
Enhanced dispersion of substance P
- The activity of substance P (a pain mediator and growth factor) leads to stimulation of afferent nociceptive fibers. It also supports development of oedema and supports secretion of histamine. Reduction of muscle tension.
How does it accelerate healing?
Increase of collagen production
- Production of a sufficient amount of collagen is a necessary precondition for repair processes of the damaged myoskeletal and ligamentous structures.
Improved metabolism and microcirculation
- The Shockwave Therapy technology accelerates removal of nociceptive metabolites, increases oxygenation and supplies damaged tissue with source of energy. It supports removal of histamine, lactic acid and other irritating agents.
How does it allow for restoration of mobility?
Dissolution of calcified fibroblasts
- The Shockwave Therapy dissolves calcified fibroblasts and start subsequent biochemical decalcification of primary calcaria or secondary symptoms of arthrosis.
