Experience the transformative power of shockwave therapy, a cutting-edge solution that reignites your body’s natural healing process to combat chronic pain and promote recovery. This advanced treatment offers a path to enhanced well-being without invasive procedures. Advanced Wellness harnesses this innovative technology to address many conditions, from tendonitis to muscle injuries where traditional methods have fallen short.
Shockwave therapy is an innovative treatment that jump-starts the body’s self-repair mechanisms following an injury. Typically, the body responds to damage by initiating a healing process to mend tissues, bones, and cells. However, in cases of chronic pain, this natural reaction may become dormant, leaving the affected area without relief and in continuous discomfort.
Advanced Wellness utilizes advanced shockwave therapy to reach the soft tissues in the target zone. The procedure induces a minor, controlled re-injury or microtrauma, reigniting the body’s innate healing response. The shockwave energy prompts the release of specific biochemicals in the cells, enhancing the regenerative process and fostering the development of new blood vessels within the tissue. This treatment is particularly effective in cases where traditional healing has stalled, providing a new avenue for recovery.
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses mechanical energy to stimulate healing in musculoskeletal tissues. It is commonly used for chronic tendinopathies, plantar fasciitis, and other soft tissue conditions that have not responded to conservative care. The procedure relies on applying high-energy acoustic waves to the targeted area to trigger biological responses that accelerate tissue repair and regeneration. Here are the standard steps:
Before the procedure begins, the patient is positioned to allow optimal access to the treatment zone. Depending on the location of the injury, this may involve lying supine, prone, or seated. The area is typically exposed and may be marked to ensure accuracy. No special preoperative preparation is needed, as the procedure is non-surgical and performed on an outpatient basis.
Shockwave therapy does not usually require anesthesia. The level of discomfort varies depending on the intensity of the waves and the condition being treated. Sometimes, a mild local anesthetic gel may be applied to the skin to reduce discomfort, though this is not standard practice. Avoiding numbing agents can enhance the therapeutic effect, as the sensation helps guide proper targeting.
The applicator is placed on the skin, often using a conductive gel to improve transmission. A projectile mechanism generates ballistic waves, which are transmitted through the skin and into the underlying tissues of the targeted area. Our therapist adjusts frequency, pressure, and duration to tailor treatment to the condition and patient response.
We monitor the patient’s feedback throughout the session and change intensity or positioning as needed. The amount of stimulation and the total number of sessions vary, but most treatment plans involve short, repeated applications over several weeks. The goal is to initiate microtrauma that encourages blood flow, metabolic activity, and the release of growth factors.
Once the session concludes, the treated area may be inspected for skin irritation. No bandages or dressings are necessary, and the patient can typically resume light activities immediately. Instructions may be given to avoid strenuous exercise involving the targeted area for a short period, allowing the body to begin its natural healing response stimulated by the mechanical energy.
Physical therapy can enhance the outcomes of shockwave treatment, especially for chronic musculoskeletal conditions. While shockwave procedures initiate biological responses that promote healing, physical therapy supports this process by improving mobility, strength, and function in the affected area. Incorporating stretching, strengthening exercises, and manual techniques helps maintain progress and prevent recurrence. This combined approach is particularly beneficial for patients who have experienced symptoms for long periods, as it addresses both the structural and functional aspects of recovery.
Shockwave therapy is often sought by individuals from various professions and walks of life who are dealing with chronic pain or mobility limitations. Here are the typical candidates:
Many patients in these categories can benefit from shockwave therapy when other conservative treatments fail to restore comfort and mobility.
As demand for non-invasive treatment options grows, shockwave therapy has become a valued component of musculoskeletal care. Many clinics now include it among their core services for managing chronic pain and soft tissue conditions. Shockwave therapy offers the following benefits:
At Advanced Wellness, we believe in providing high-quality care that enhances your life without imposing financial burdens. Compared to the high costs associated with surgery and the frequent copays required for traditional physical therapy sessions, shockwave procedures are a cost-effective and efficient alternative.
