Many people are looking for gentler and more pleasant ways to deal with their health concerns. They have experienced challenging surgeries with long recovery times or have had to endure frequent painful injections.
At times, these approaches may not provide the desired relief and recovery for patients. As a result, there is an increasing need for a comprehensive strategy. We are excited to announce that shock wave therapy offers a safe, highly effective, and pain-free alternative that many individuals are looking for at Laser Therapy Houston.
What is Shock Wave Therapy?
Shock wave therapy is a non-invasive treatment used in various fields such as orthopedics, physiotherapy, sports medicine, and urology. It uses high-energy sound waves or acoustical energy to treat a range of musculoskeletal disorders, especially those related to connective tissues like muscles, tendons, ligaments, and joints. This treatment has become more popular because it effectively helps with tissue repair and pain relief without requiring invasive procedures.
Shock wave therapy is known for being painless and delivering quick outcomes. Customers can feel comfortable during the procedure as our technicians and healthcare providers work to reduce their pain and discomfort with this innovative therapeutic intervention.
This therapy is usually administered on an outpatient basis, removing the need for a hospital stay. A gel is applied to the specific area being treated to improve the transmission of sound waves. During the session, the practitioner moves the device over the specified area, releasing pulses of sound waves. The number of treatments can vary and may be spread out over multiple sessions, depending on the severity of the condition and how the patient responds to the therapy.
What are the Benefits?
One of the main benefits of shock wave therapy is its effectiveness. Patients can expect to see long-lasting results during treatment and notice immediate improvements. The quick improvement in symptoms without the need for a long recovery period allows individuals to continue with their daily activities without any interruptions, unlike more invasive treatment options.
Moreover, shock wave therapy can penetrate deeply into the body, effectively treating a wide range of medical conditions. This approach goes beyond surface-level treatment, addressing the root cause of discomfort or dysfunction at the skeletal level to promote healing and recovery without causing undue pain.
In addition to promoting wound healing and tissue repair, shock wave therapy greatly boosts collagen production. Collagen is often linked to promoting youthful, healthy skin, but it also plays a crucial role in supporting joint health, preventing bone loss, and protecting and repairing damaged tissue, among other benefits. As a result, shock wave therapy speeds up the healing process by boosting collagen production.
As we have mentioned previously, this method is known for being painless. Addressing the discomfort linked to specific medical procedures is eased with shock wave therapy. This not only helps avoid pain during treatment but also reduces the patient’s existing discomfort, ultimately improving their physical performance.
Patients value the gentle approach of shock wave therapy, as it does not require removing clothing. Our state-of-the-art shock wave equipment is designed to work effectively through clothing layers, allowing all patients to feel comfortable during their session.
It is important to stay calm during any therapeutic procedure, even though it is often overlooked. At Laser Therapy Houston, our main goal is to create a welcoming atmosphere for our patients so they can leave our clinic feeling better than when they arrived.
Typical Treatments
This approach has been used to address a wide variety of medical issues, including chronic pain and inflammation. Shock wave therapy is a powerful treatment option for addressing a wide range of medical issues throughout the body. For instance, people dealing with degenerative joint disease in areas like the knees, hips, hands, shoulders, elbows, or those with herniated discs will experience significant advantages from this treatment.
Shock waves trigger the body’s natural pain-inhibiting mechanisms. This can help reduce chronic pain sensations and increase pain tolerance. It is perfect for people experiencing pain in their lower, mid, and upper back, muscle tension, pinched nerves, and heel pain.
Our shock wave machine helps promote neovascularization, which boosts blood supply and oxygenation to the targeted area, aiding in tissue healing and regeneration. This is great for people who have suffered sports injuries and are experiencing inflammation of tendons, joints, tendon overload syndrome, or osteitis pubis.
Ultimately, this cutting-edge therapy offers advantages that go beyond just treating injuries or strained muscles. It can also help with other conditions such as frozen shoulder, Achilles tendinitis, erectile dysfunction, and fat reduction.
