🔹Tennis/Golfers Elbow
🔹Shoulder Calcification
🔹Hip Bursitis
🔹Chronic Muscle or Joint Pain
How does it work in your body?
✅Stimulates Blood Flow- shockwaves increase circulation in the injured area. More blood means more oxygen, nutrients, and healing cells to the tissue.
✅Breaks Up Scar Tissue and Calcium Build-up- if there's tight scar tissue or calcium in a tendon or joint, the shockwaves break it down, making the tissue more flexible and allowing better movement.
✅Triggers Cell Repair- The sound waves create tiny mechanical stresses in your tissue-- just enough to "wake up" the cells and tell them to start repairing and rebuilding. This helps regenerate tendons, ligaments, and muscles.
✅Reduces Pain Signals- Shockwaves can desensitize nerve endings, which reduces the pain you feel. Over time, as your tissues heal, your pain naturally goes down.
✅Boosts Stem Cell Activity- Some studies show that shockwaves activate stem cells in your body- these are your natural repair cells that help build new, healthy tissue.
What you might feel
🔸tapping or pulsing; it's usually well tolerated
🔸some soreness for 1 to 2 days is normal- it means your body is starting to heal
