LifeMotion’s Extracorporal Focused Shockwave Therapy addresses aches that won’t mend. This non-invasive, painless option promotes tissue healing and regeneration of an injury, potentially delaying or removing the need for surgical intervention or steroid medications.
What is Focused Shockwave Therapy?
When the soft tissue in your body hardens, it can prevent the production of collagen, which is important for healthy skin and bones. Focused Shockwave Therapy, administered to a tendon or muscle through your skin using a handheld device that looks like an ultrasound wand, emits high-energy acoustic waves as deep as 4.7 inches.
What are the benefits of Shockwave Therapy?
Focused Shockwave Therapy breaks up soft tissue hardening and encourages collagen synthesis as well as your body’s own natural healing process. This enhances circulation and accelerates the healing of stubborn musculoskeletal conditions in bones, tendons, ligaments, and muscles. Additionally, Shockwave Therapy may provide pain relief for several hours following the procedure.
What Are Shockwave Therapy Options?
There are two primary types of Shockwave found in clinics: Radial and Focused. Because of Radial Shockwave Therapy’s technology, it doesn’t penetrate deeply and can be uncomfortable. However, since these units are less expensive, they’re more commonly found in clinics. Not ours. LifeMotion offers only the more precise and comfortable Focused Shockwave. This enables us to offer effective therapy for more demanding conditions.
How can Shockwave Therapy Help You?
