What Is Shockwave Therapy?
At Houghton Physical Therapy, we’re proud to offer Shockwave Therapy – an advanced and highly effective treatment that accelerates healing and provides long-lasting relief. This non-invasive therapy uses pressure waves to stimulate your body’s natural healing processes, improving blood flow and reducing pain and inflammation. Whether you’re dealing with chronic pain, sports injuries, or musculoskeletal conditions, Shockwave Therapy can help you regain mobility and live a pain-free life. Trust in your medical dream team and experience the transformative power of Shockwave Therapy today.
How Does It Work?
Shockwave Therapy works by delivering high-energy acoustic waves to targeted areas of the body, typically around areas of chronic pain or injury. These waves are generated outside the body and penetrate the skin to reach deep tissue, where they stimulate biological responses in the muscles, tendons, and ligaments. The mechanical impact of these shockwaves helps to increase blood circulation, break down calcified deposits, and initiate a controlled inflammatory response in the tissue. This promotes cellular repair and regeneration, encouraging the body’s natural healing mechanisms.
Is Shockwave Right For You?
Shockwave Therapy is ideal for those who want to avoid surgery and pain pills. It’s suitable for individuals suffering from chronic tendinopathies, musculoskeletal pain, and dysfunction. This therapy may also benefit those with delayed healing in soft tissues, as shockwaves stimulate blood flow, promote cellular repair, and trigger natural healing processes. For some, especially older adults with long-standing pain or limited healing capacity, shockwave therapy can provide relief and improve mobility. Whether you’re dealing with osteoarthritis or looking to enhance your quality of life, Shockwave Therapy can help.
What Are The Benefits?
• Pain Reduction: Helps alleviate chronic pain in conditions like plantar fasciitis, tendinitis, and joint pain.
• Non-invasive: Provides a non-surgical alternative to traditional treatments, reducing the need for anesthetic and recovery time.
• Promotes Healing: Stimulates natural healing processes by increasing blood flow and encourages cellular repair in the affected area.
• Quick & Effective Treatment Sessions: Each session is generally short (15-20 minutes and well-tolerated, making it convenient for those with busy schedules.
• Long-Term Relief: Often provides sustained pain relief and improved function after a series of treatments, decreasing the need for frequent pain management.
