Shockwave Therapy at CaliSpine stimulates natural healing processes, promotes tissue regeneration, and provides pain relief.
At CaliSpine, we specialize in shockwave therapy, a non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy sound waves to promote healing and pain relief in musculoskeletal conditions. This therapy is particularly effective for chronic tendinopathies, plantar fasciitis, elbow pain, shoulder pain, and other stubborn injuries that haven't responded to traditional treatments. Our expert team uses shockwave therapy to stimulate the body's natural healing processes, increasing blood flow and accelerating tissue repair and cell growth.
Our Process to Shockwave Therapy
-
Assessment and Preparation
We first evaluate your condition by reviewing your medical history, physical examination, and possibly imaging tests to determine the exact nature of the spinal issue.
-
Shockwave Therapy
Using the handheld shockwave device, we apply it to the targeted area of the body. These high-energy sound waves are transmitted to the affected tissues and can stimulate healing and regeneration processes.
-
Post-Therapy Care
After the session, there might be some immediate relief, but the full effects of the treatment often develop over time as the body’s natural healing processes are stimulated. Depending on the response to the treatment, follow-up sessions of shockwave therapy may be scheduled.
What Is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive medical treatment that uses acoustic waves to target various conditions. It's used for treating conditions like tendinitis, plantar fasciitis, and certain types of chronic pain. Shockwave therapy offers an alternative to more invasive treatments like surgery. It promotes healing and pain relief, often leading to quick and effective results for conditions that are typically hard to treat. With its growing popularity and positive outcomes, it's becoming an important option in modern therapeutic practices.
Who is a Good Candidate for Shockwave Therapy & How Long Until I Feel Results?
Good candidates for shockwave therapy typically include individuals suffering from chronic tendinopathies, plantar fasciitis, shoulder rotator cuff pain, Achilles tendinitis, and similar musculoskeletal conditions. It's particularly beneficial for those who haven't found relief from other forms of treatment. The time frame for feeling results varies; some patients may experience improvement shortly after the first session, while others might need a few sessions to notice significant changes. The effects of shockwave therapy are often progressive and cumulative, so improvements might continue to develop over time.
