WHAT IS SHOCKWAVE THERAPY?
Sound, in the form of shock waves, can pulverize a kidney stone, shatter glass, view into the body and so much more. Now, the power of sound has reached new heights with extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) and this non-invasive as safe treatment.
​
With shockwave therapy, high energy acoustic (sound) shockwaves or high energy shock waves are sent into the treated tissue. Normal tissue ripples like the waves made in water when you throw a stone into a pond. Scar tissue and calcified fibroblasts are brittle and they break in the wake of the waves and high energy micro bubbles that are released in the tissue. This allows for angiogenesis, or blood to come back into the area, and tissue regeneration to take place. Life is literally coming back into the area treated. To even begin to break up scar tissue, before, I used to bruise people with deep pressure massage. The Piezowave 2 is a better more comfortable option that goes deep into the cells of the tissue without the effects of after-pain or bruises.
​
With this non invasive shockwave treatment, joints stay more mobile and lubricated than with just a chiropractic treatment.
