Shockwave Therapy Mississauga
Did you get some nagging tennis elbow or plantar fasciitis injury that won’t go away? Have you undergone other conservative treatments with little to no alleviation of your symptoms? Are you diagnosed with chronic tendonitis or bursitis? If you answered YES to any of the above, Radial Shockwave Therapy could be for you!
Shockwave therapy is an effective and non-invasive treatment for various bone, tendon, and muscle diseases. Shockwave therapy uses high-energy mechanical sound waves with strong impulses to activate anti-inflammatory mechanisms in the body and induce tissue regeneration. Shockwave therapy promotes the formation of nitric oxide, which helps regulate inflammatory cells at the site of injury, clears scar tissue, encourages the formation of new blood vessels to supply superior blood circulation to the affected area, and promotes the growth of new nerve cells. Physiotherapy can optimize the healing effects of shockwave therapy using intramuscular stimulation, acupuncture, and active release techniques.
How does shockwave therapy work?
Shockwave therapy uses an acoustic wave to carry high energy to painful spots and musculoskeletal tissues with acute, subacute, and chronic conditions. The energy stimulates the bones, tendons, and other soft tissues to regenerate and repair.
Shockwave therapy uses high-amplitude pressure changes to increase circulation and jump-start healing. The projectile, created from pneumatically generated air, transfers kinetic energy from the applicator into the affected soft tissue.
What happens during a session of shockwave therapy? Patients usually experience little or no pain with the treatment, although some might be slightly uncomfortable because of the physical pulses. You can also determine how intense the treatment is based on your comfort level. After shockwave therapy treatment, no recovery time is needed.
