Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave Therapy in Vaughan is a highly specialized and targeted approach to treating pain, inflammation, injuries and scar tissue. Shockwave Therapy treatment involves the application of radial wave pressure over an injured area and surrounding tissue that is scarred, painful, inflamed and has scar tissue. When applied at the appropriate settings and parameters, shockwave therapy can increase blood flow, break down scar tissue and muscular adhesions, reduce spasm and instantly reduce pain and sensitivity at the affected area.

How Does it Work and Why is it to Effective?

Shockwave Therapy by a Vaughan Chiropractor uses radial pressure waves applied to the affected and surrounding area to create a more suitable environment for the injury to heal. Using the Shockwave Therapy applicator, pressure waves are passed through the skin to the targeted tissue, where scar tissue is then broken down and blood flow is increased.

As a result of applying radial pressure waves and increasing circulation to the injured area, the body then begins to: reverse chronic pain and inflammation, form new blood vessels, increase the production of collagen (the building block of healthy skin, hair and nails), break down calcium in tendonitis and release muscular trigger points.

Conditions like plantar fasciitis, runner’s knee, tendonitis, frozen shoulder, rotator cuff injuries, Golfer’s elbow and tennis elbow respond well to Shockwave Therapy, with patients reporting positive results after their first session.

Most uncomplicated conditions respond well to Shockwave Therapy within 4 to 6 sessions, with results felt within the first 1-2 sessions.
