How Does Shockwave Therapy Work?

This is a common question that both patients considering to opt for shockwave therapy and practitioners looking to offer shockwave therapy ask.

Shockwave therapy enhances blood circulation which regenerates damaged tissue. This causes the patient to heal faster. In fact, often shockwave therapy is effective in cases where the body has had difficulty healing itself. This is because the strong energy pulses emitted from the shockwave device create micro cavitation bubbles that expand and burst each time the pulses are applied to the affected area. These bubbles stimulate the cells in the body that are responsible for bone and connective tissue healing.
