What exactly is it?
Shockwave therapy utilizes electrohydraulic acoustic "shockwaves" that enter the body and enhance the body's natural healing mechanisms. This shockwave actually induces local inflammatory signals released from the bodies immune cells and tissues to bring healing factors to the area. Along with these growth factors include MSCs aka Mesenchymal Stem Cells. On top of the therapeutic effect of modulating inflammation this non-invasive procedure actually can recruit stem cells to regenerate tissues! That's the ultimate power of this device.
What is the difference between this Shockwave and others?
The difference is in the technology. This technology uses an electrohydraulic method to produce the acoustic shockwave. Many other forms of "shockwave" simply do not do this. Many use radial pressure waves which do not get the same effect. The Softwave machine is truly the gold standard of Shockwave systems and it is the only machine we use because we believe in the best technology to truly heal our patients!
How can Shockwave benefit me?
Everyone has dealt with an injury before. Maybe that old knee injury from highschool still bugs you a little. Or maybe an old lifting injury has sidelined you from lifting heavy weights again or it flares up every few months. Maybe you have frozen shoulder from a new injury. Maybe you are dealing with degenerative osteoarthritis and may be a surgical candidate in a few years. If this sounds liek you or similar, then shockwave can be beneficial for you! The reason being, is the technology is so advanced that it also has the power of regenerative medicine buy recruiting stem cells to help regenerate tissues!
We may actually have improved benefits for people who may need surgery as it is my belief surgery should be a last resort since it is the most invasive. This technique is non-invasive. No needles. No anesthesia. No cuts. We simply target the tissues we need to with powerful shockwaves that can penetrate as far as 12cm (~5 inches) into the body, which means we can virtually treat any body part on any person because of this powerful technology.
