What is shockwave therapy?

Shockwave therapy involves the application of frequent, short, high intense bursts of mechanical energy within the form of a shockwave, into soft-tissues that are injured, contains adhesions, scarred, painful or inflamed. This form of energy shock is not an electric shock but rather a fast-paced frequency vibration in a Radical Pressure Wave (RPW). When shockwaves are applied appropriately, it allows local blood flow to increase, breaks apart the scar tissues and adhesions, improves the patient’s healing responses, reduces muscles spasms and directly decreases pain and discomfort. We ensure that our clients are comfortable in our clinical setting and treatments are well-done, which is proved through previous positive patients’ experiences.

How does Shockwave work?

Shockwave therapy promotes the process of healing by activating the body’s self-healing powers, typically in cases where the body is unable to do it on its own. The shockwaves treatments enhance blood circulation and stimulates metabolism, which helps the damaged tissues to regenerate and eventually heal. Our therapists here at the shockwave therapy in Oakville, apply shockwaves through a special tool that produces strong energy pulses for a short time period. These shockwave energy pulses are directly applied to the affected tissues within a controlled procedure. Thus, shockwaves have a mechanical impact on the tissues.

By applying pressure, the shockwave transmitting into the tissue create micro cavitation bubbles that expand and burst into a force
After the force, it penetrates tissues and stimulates the cells from within the body which are held responsible for the bone an connective tissues for healing
Evidence shows that shockwave therapy breaks down the calcium deposits
