Sports medicine is a rapidly evolving field, and now’s the perfect time to supercharge your clinic’s offerings with this new technology.
Patients demand innovative treatments and comprehensive care, and shockwave technology is the timely and transformative solution that benefits both practitioners and patients.
Here’s a look at how shockwave therapy fits into evolving global trends and technological advancements and why it’s the perfect time for you to consider bringing shockwave into your sports medicine clinic.
Evolving Trends in Sports Medicine
Chances are anyone who runs, jumps, or swims doesn’t want to spend much time motionless.
Athletes and patients are increasingly shifting towards treatment options that provide effective results with quick recovery periods and minimal disruption to training schedules. This is hardly surprising, given that downtime can harm a sports career.
Shockwave therapy addresses this need by providing a non-invasive approach that uses acoustic soundwave pulses to repair and regenerate damaged muscle areas. This is ideal for athletes who don’t want or need surgery, as pain is reduced by directly stimulating the nerves at the injury site.
Shockwave therapy also increases circulation around injured soft tissues, breaks down calcified deposits, stimulates cells that generate new bone and connective tissue and reduces pain by overstimulating nerve endings in the affected area.
While holistic care used to be on the sidelines, there’s a growing emphasis on holistic treatment plans. Adding shockwave therapy to your clinic’s offerings provides patients with a comprehensive approach to care.
Advancements in Medical Technology
Are the athletes and patients you treat looking for cutting-edge care?
Shockwave therapy is at the forefront of the tech revolution. It uses short, intense pressure waves as a non-invasive way to stimulate the body’s natural healing mechanisms, resulting in faster results and less downtime.
Shockwave therapy devices also integrate seamlessly with other digital health platforms, enhancing patient management and placing shockwave into the digital technology landscape. As time passes, further R&D in regenerative medicine may lead to more integration of shockwave technology with other cutting-edge technologies to provide more applications.
A recent study by Maximize Market research says that “increasing investment by pharmaceutical companies in R&D activities to design technologically advanced medical devices by adopting innovative research is expected to fuel the Shockwave Therapy Market in (North America).”
Rise in Sports Injuries
The rise of sports injuries worldwide underscores the growing demand for effective and efficient treatment options such as shockwave therapy.
According to the Maximize Research study, “Shockwave therapy is already the most researched and proven treatment method [for sports injuries], and it will become even more effective and will provide a solution for more and more patients in the coming years.”
Swimmers, tennis players, baseball stars and marathon runners have benefited from the wide range of treatments possible with extracorporeal shockwave therapy.
According to the report, the global shockwave therapy market is expected to grow from USD 1.26 Bn in 2022 to USD 2.15 Bn by 2029. To tap into this growing market, fuelled in part by increased demand for sports and a growing number of injuries among the younger generation, consider adding shockwave technology to your clinic’s offerings. This will put you on the edge of current trends, technologies, and market demands.
