Shockwave uses high amplitude sound waves to break through dense scar tissue and bring in circulation to those deep areas where healing has been blocked.
Shockwave can be a bit of a misnomer when it comes to this modality. While the name indicates some sort of shock sensation when being used, it actually feels more like being tapped over and over again by a ball pen hammer!
Shockwave uses acoustic waves that lead to faster, as well as long-term healing and tissue regeneration. The accusative wave carries high energy to the targeted tissue. There, it promotes regenerative and reparative processes.
Some of the processes include:
New blood vessel formation
Reversal of chronic inflammation
Stimulation of collagen production
Breakdown of calcifications
Decreased pain (via substance P dispersion)
Release of trigger points
Shockwave can be used for many diagnoses, including but not limited to rotator cuff injuries, calcific tendinosis, tennis/golfers elbow, heel spurs and plantar fasciitis.
While the treatment can be uncomfortable, it is not painful. Treatment can range once every 7-10 days between treatments, depending on your condition and tolerance to the Shockwave therapy. Typically 8-10 treatments will be needed, however that may change depending on your specific needs.

En quoi ça consiste
Most of the hour is spent on the table while the therapist works through the areas you’ve agreed to focus on — pressure, pace and techniques shifting as they go — with a brief check-in before and after so you leave knowing what was worked on.
