Shockwave Therapy at Wilson Health & Wellness
HOW DOES SHOCKWAVE THERAPY WORK?
Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) uses pneumatic (pressurized air) technology to induce microtrauma to affected tissues. Our trained practitioners will identify and deliver microtrauma precisely into specific muscles/tissues.
This microtrauma kickstarts the healing/repair process through new blood vessel formation (angiogensisis), increased metabolic activity and cellular regeneration, and increased delivery of nutrients to the affected area. The shockwaves also intensify the analgesic effect by over stimulating the nerve fibres thus blocking an increase in pain stimuli.
Pathological alterations of tendons, ligaments, capsules, muscles and bones – in other words the root causes of your pain – can be eliminated systematically with this innovative therapy approach!
