Shockwave Therapy Ottawa and Orléans

How Does Shockwave Therapy Work?

Acoustic waves with high energy peak used in Shockwave therapy interact with tissue causing accelerated tissue repair and cell growth, analgesia and mobility restoration.

New Blood Vessel Formation

Shockwave therapy may support new blood vessel formation in treated tissue, helping improve circulation and support tissue repair.

Reversal of Chronic Inflammation

Shockwave therapy may help stimulate the body’s healing response and assist in reducing chronic inflammatory patterns in irritated tissue.

Stimulation of Collagen Production

Collagen is important for tendon, ligament, and connective tissue repair. Shockwave therapy may help stimulate collagen production during recovery.

Dissolution of Calcified Fibroblasts

Shockwave therapy may help address calcified tissue changes that contribute to pain and limited mobility.

Dispersion of Pain Mediator “Substance P”

Shockwave therapy may help reduce pain signalling by influencing Substance P, a pain mediator associated with discomfort and inflammation.

Release of Trigger Points

Shockwave therapy may help reduce trigger point sensitivity, improve tissue mobility, and relieve localized areas of muscle tension.
