FAQs
What is shockwave therapy, and how does it work?
Shockwave therapy uses acoustic waves to stimulate healing by increasing blood flow, reducing inflammation, and encouraging cellular repair in targeted areas of the body.
What conditions can shockwave therapy treat?
Shockwave is commonly used for chronic pain conditions like plantar fasciitis, tendinitis, shoulder pain, tennis elbow, and other musculoskeletal issues, as well as to improve mobility and reduce scar tissue.
What is the success rate for this kind of treatment?
A successful treatment is considered as a patient having at least 75% reduction in pain within 3 months with improvements in pain free range of motion, strength, and improved functional ability. Worldwide, success rates with shockwave have been reported at 80 to 90%!
Is shockwave therapy painful?
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during treatment. Some report a mild tapping or pulsing sensation, and the intensity can be adjusted for comfort.
What should I do if I am in pain after the treatment?
Shockwave will trigger an inflammatory response, which is the body’s natural process of healing. For this reason, do not use anti-inflammatory medications. You can use ice in a limited fashion, no more than 20 minutes per hour. Any discomfort should subside within 24 hours.
What if it feels good after the treatment?
Even if it feels good, we recommend decreased activity for 48 hours following the treatment. Your tissue is healing, and overuse can lead to reinjury.
How many sessions will I need?
The number of treatments and use of different shockwave instruments depends on the severity, chronicity and location(s) of the condition(s).
Normally four to twelve treatments are necessary at weekly or biweekly intervals; there is a small possibility that additional treatments may be necessary if your condition is very chronic and/or you have severely restricted joint range of motion (ie. Frozen shoulder).
Benefits of Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy is a powerful, non-invasive solution for pain relief and healing that targets the root of discomfort rather than masking symptoms. This therapy can benefit individuals struggling with chronic pain, mobility issues, or injuries that have not responded well to traditional treatments. Here’s how shockwave therapy can support your recovery and enhance your quality of life:
Accelerates Healing
Stimulates cellular repair and regeneration in the affected area.
Breaks Down Scar Tissue
Helps release and remodel scar tissue, often associated with chronic injuries, to improve flexibility and function.
Increases Blood and Lymphatic Circulation
Enhances microcirculation to support healing and reduce inflammation in the treated area.
Promotes Pain Modulation
Releases Substance P, a neurotransmitter that plays a crucial role in reducing pain and improving comfort.
Stimulates Stem Cell Activity
Boosts the presence and effectiveness of mesenchymal stem cells in the treated area, aiding in tissue repair and regeneration.
Enhances Cartilage Healing
Supports the healing and recovery of cartilage, crucial for joint health and mobility.
Releases Nitric Oxide
Increases nitric oxide levels to boost cellular healing and tissue repair.
Activates Growth Factors
Stimulates growth factors to promote faster and more effective recovery.
Non-Invasive and Quick
Treatments are brief, usually lasting 15-20 minutes, and do not require surgery or downtime.
Effective for a Range of Conditions
Useful for various injuries and conditions, such as frozen shoulder syndrome, rotator cuff injuries, plantar fasciitis, golfer’s and tennis elbow, carpal tunnel syndrome, trigger finger, knee and hip injuries, arthritis, spinal issues, and disc herniations.
Align is different, it is a chiropractor’s office but more than that it is a professional group who truly care about their patients. You actually feel like you are with friends, people who’s really care about your health.
