Injuries And Pain Management

Shockwave Therapy, also known as Acoustic Wave Therapy (AWT), sends pressure waves to tissues through a series of pulses. The pressure waves help boost collagen production and relax stiff connective-tissue fibers.

A small wand-like device uses targeted sound waves to stimulate tissues and blood vessels.

There can be some discomfort initially with shockwave treatment, but there is also a numbing effect as an area is treated. Numbing cream can be used to lessen the discomfort.

• Cellulite
• Treat urinary incontinence / leakage
• Promote smoother results after liposuction or other procedures.
• Treat female sexual arousal disorder
• Erectile Dysfunction

• Non-surgical, non-invasive treatment and doesn’t require any downtime.
• Typically pain-free, and can be adjusted if you feel uncomfortable.
• Quick. Each sessions lasts roughly 30 minutes.
• Results may last up to a year.

Shockwave, through the sound wave pulses stimulate penile tissue and encourage blood flow, which can also speed up the healing process. Shockwaves have also been shown to grow new blood vessels, thereby improving blood flow in the penis, which is essential for erections.

Shockwave therapy works as an urinary incontinence / leakage treatment by decreasing bladder overactivity, eliminating urinary incontinence, and improving stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms.

In a 2019 shockwave cellulite study, researchers found a significant reduction in cellulite in both the buttocks and posterior thighs even three months after the treatments.

1. weakens fibrous tissues right under the surface of the skin
2. reduces swelling caused by poor lymph fluid flow throughout the skin
3. May stimulate stem cells found in fat tissue to regenerate healthier, more youthful skin
4. improves blood circulation to support new, healthier cells.

Numerous studies show that acoustic shockwaves provided significant effects on the biological tissue, which led to the “restructuring of skin properties and subcutaneous tissue,” thus improving the aspects of cellulite and localized tissue.

There are thousands of studies showing the benefits of shockwave.
Here is a sample.
