How Does Shockwave Therapy Work?

Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses sound waves as a stimulus to help the body repair injured tissues, increase blood flow and relieve tension in muscles. Acoustic waves with high energy are used to relieve pain and repair injured tissue. These waves stimulate the human body’s natural healing process.

The most effective way to use radial shock wave therapy is with a comprehensive rehabilitation program. Shockwave therapy in Scarborough can be combined with strengthening exercises and other rehabilitation techniques for long-term results.

How Many Shockwave Therapy Sessions Will I Need?

Most patients need three shockwave therapy sessions spaced one week apart to experience optimal benefits. More treatments might be necessary for some illnesses. Your specialist will be able to talk with you about your specific situation and expectations.Most patients need three shockwave therapy sessions spaced one week apart to experience optimal benefits.

Is Shockwave Therapy Appropriate for All Patients?

Shockwave therapy is a safe and efficient treatment when administered in a professional setting; however, there are several situations in which it is not recommended. This sort of therapy is inappropriate if:

  • You have a problem with blood clotting
  • You have a nerve condition.
  • You’re expecting.
  • You have or had bone cancer of any form.
  • You have an infection.
  • You have metal pins or plates.
  • You’ve consumed anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).

Does Shockwave Therapy Hurt?

You won’t likely experience any pain if the therapy is on fleshy tissue. Bony areas are usually more sensitive. You’ll discover that each subsequent session is more comfortable as your body heals. Adjustments to the equipment will lessen your discomfort if you are particularly sensitive.

Are There Any Side Effects?

You can have strange sensations or minor bruising in the area where you received treatment. However, once the area heals, side effects should be restricted to numbness and slight swelling. It’s crucial that you receive shockwave therapy only from licensed professionals.

After-care Precautions for Shockwave Therapy

Patients should avoid strenuous activities for the following 48 hours after each treatment, even if there is no pain. Taking anti-inflammatory medications following shockwave therapy will also go against the treatment’s goal of promoting the body’s natural healing process.
