If you suffer from chronic pain, seeking solutions such as focused or radial shockwave in Newton Square may help you avoid surgery and even pain medications with major side effects. From professional athletes and weekend warriors to those with plantar fasciitis to Achilles tendonitis, to rotator cuff tendonitis shockwave therapy offered by Dr. David W. Nadler & Associates proves to be a safe, effective alternative to more invasive treatments by treating the root cause quickly and with little to no recovery time.
Reduces Pain with Acoustic Waves
Whether radial or focused, shockwave therapy utilizes acoustic waves to help reduce intense and chronic pain by lowering concentrations of Substance P. This neuropeptide relays information through C-fibers, stimulating afferent nociceptive fibers, which increases inflammation. By dispersing Substance P and other nociceptive metabolites, shockwave therapy reduces pain and improves quality of life.
Boosts New Blood Vessel Growth
Proper blood flow helps your body begin and continue repairs when you damage tissues. Acoustic waves used in shockwave therapy aids in this process by microbreaking capillaries to encourage growth factors, including VEGF, PCNS and eNOS, to increase. In turn, this process remodels arterioles, stimulating new growth, which improves blood supply, oxygenation, and nutrient transfer to both tendon and bone.
Reverses Chronic Inflammation
When your body’s inflammation response gets out of hand, damage to healthy tissue plus chronic pain can result. Pervasive acoustic waves used in shockwave therapy helps with chronic inflammation by increasing the activity of mast cells that control swelling. When mast cells activate, your body produces chemokines and cytokines — compounds that aid the inflammatory process in resuming normal healing and regeneration.
Releases Trigger Points
The main cause of back, shoulder, neck, and limb pain trigger points arise from palpable nodules in muscle fibers. These taut bands with tightly contracted sarcomeres can even cut off blood supply and cause waste to build, which aggravates nerve endings and creates more contraction in the muscles and creates what’s called a metabolic crisis in your muscles’ myofilaments. Shockwave therapy tackles this tough problem by using acoustic waves to reverse the metabolic crisis, which in turn results in trigger point release.
Whether you suffer from tendon and bone issues, neurological disorders, or muscle or connective tissue issues, radial or focused shockwave therapy in Newton Square, PA, may help you get back your mobility and life quality.
