As our bodies age, we may find that injuries take longer to heal or that certain areas are more complex to heal than others. At Active Recovery Boston, we have found a new solution to help our patients with these complex and longer healing areas. Shockwave Therapy has proven to be an effective tool for treating ligaments, tendons, and connective tissue in the extremities.
Our team at Active Recovery Boston is excited to offer Shockwave Therapy as a treatment option for our patients. This non-invasive procedure uses high-intensity sound waves to stimulate the body's natural healing process. By targeting damaged tissue, Shockwave Therapy promotes blood flow, reduces inflammation, and encourages the growth of new tissue.
One of the benefits of Shockwave Therapy is that it can be used to treat a variety of conditions, from plantar fasciitis to tennis elbow. At Active Recovery Boston, we have found that Shockwave Therapy is particularly effective in treating ligaments, tendons, and connective tissue in the extremities. These areas of the body can be slow to heal, and Shockwave Therapy can help speed up the healing process.
The Intelect RPW 2,176 kit is the machine we use for Shockwave Therapy. This state-of-the-art device delivers powerful sound waves that penetrate deep into the tissue, providing a targeted and effective treatment. The device is designed to be both easy to use and highly customizable, allowing us to tailor each treatment to the specific needs of our patients.
So, how does Shockwave Therapy work? During a treatment session, a wand-like device is placed on the affected area. The device then emits high-intensity sound waves that travel through the skin and penetrate deep into the tissue. This process creates a controlled injury to the affected tissue, which triggers the body's natural healing response. Over time, this response can help repair and rebuild damaged tissue.
One of the benefits of Shockwave Therapy is that it is non-invasive and does not require anesthesia. Most patients experience minor discomfort during the procedure, and there is minimal downtime following treatment. While some patients may experience mild soreness or discomfort after treatment, this is typically short-lived.
At Active Recovery Boston, we recommend Shockwave Therapy as part of a comprehensive treatment plan for our patients. While this treatment can be highly effective on its own, we often combine it with other therapies, such as Active Release Technique, Chiropractic Manipulation, Dry Needling and or Stretch & Rehab, to achieve the best possible outcomes. Our goal is to provide our patients with personalized care and treatment plans that are tailored to their unique needs and goals.
In conclusion, Shockwave Therapy is a safe and effective treatment option for complex and longer healing areas of the body. At Active Recovery Boston, we have seen great success in using Shockwave Therapy to treat ligaments, tendons, and connective tissue in the extremities. Our team is committed to providing our patients with the highest level of care and treatment, and we are proud to offer this innovative and effective therapy as part of our comprehensive approach to healing.
