What Is Shockwave Therapy and Is It Right for You?
Injuries, whether acute or chronic, can slow you down and interfere with your ability to enjoy the activities you love. At Amplify Chiropractic & Wellness, we aim to restore your quality of life along with your health. If you have a sports injury, work-related injury, or another type of injury, or you’re recovering from surgery, Dr. Josh Rinaldi may recommend that you try radial shockwave therapy in Poughkeepsie, NY.
What Is Radial Shockwave Therapy?
Radial shockwave therapy is an advanced method of healing acute and chronic injuries by regenerating the tissues. It’s an FDA-cleared and non-invasive technology that targets the injured area with sound waves. The sound waves trigger the body’s natural ability to heal itself, which can correct the underlying cause of pain, stiffness, limited range of motion, and other common symptoms.
How Shockwave Therapy Can Help
Shockwave therapy using a system such as MiracleWave® Therapy restores and regenerates the tissue. It can help accelerate your recovery from injuries by:
- Increase Collagen Production – The increased production of collagen in the treatment area can support tissue healing and strength.
- Boost Blood Flow – Oxygenated, nutrient-rich blood is essential for the healing process.
- Address Calcification – Calcium deposits in damaged soft tissues like the tendons can interfere with healing.
- Reduce Pain – Shockwave technology works on the nerve endings to interrupt pain signals.
- Targets Trigger Points – Another way that shockwave therapy reduces pain is by targeting muscle knots.
Is Shockwave Therapy Right for You?
Shockwave therapy can be an appropriate treatment option for athletes with sports injuries or anyone with an acute or chronic injury. It can also support healing in patients who are recovering from surgery.
