At Laguna Bay Chiropractic in Noosaville, Queensland, we are proud to offer Shockwave Therapy, an innovative treatment that utilises high-energy acoustic waves to target and heal painful musculoskeletal conditions. This non-invasive therapy is known for its rapid effects on pain relief and mobility restoration, making it an excellent choice for conditions that are typically difficult to treat.
How Shockwave Therapy Works
Shockwave therapy involves the delivery of high-energy pulses to the affected areas, which propagate as acoustic waves. These waves carry high energy to painful spots and myoskeletal tissues with subacute, subchronic, and chronic conditions, promoting regeneration and reparative processes of the bones, tendons, and other soft tissues.
The Benefits:
Shockwave therapy is not only effective but also affordable, especially when compared to other treatment options for chronic conditions. Each session at Laguna Bay Chiropractic is priced to provide accessibility without compromising on quality.
New Blood Vessel Formation
The shockwaves induce micro-ruptures in capillaries in tendons and bones, encouraging new blood vessel growth, which improves blood supply and oxygenation, resulting in faster healing processes.
Reversing Chronic Inflammation
It helps normalise inflammation by stimulating the body’s natural inflammatory response, aiding healing.
Breaking Up Calcifications
Effectively breaks down calcium build-up in soft tissues, which is then cleared by the body, alleviating pain.
Pain Reduction
Reduces concentrations of Substance P, a neurotransmitter associated with persistent and intense pain, leading to pain relief and reduced oedema.
Mobility Restoration
Helps restore mobility by breaking down calcifications and leading to tissue regeneration.
Is Shockwave Therapy Right for You?
Shockwave therapy at Laguna Bay Chiropractic may be the right treatment for you if you are struggling with a variety of persistent conditions. This therapy is particularly effective for chronic tendinitis, calcifications in soft tissues, muscle pain and injuries, heel spurs, joint pain such as tennis or golfer’s elbow and shoulder pain. It also benefits those suffering from ongoing back and neck pain. If you are dealing with any of these issues and seeking a non-invasive treatment that provides rapid relief and promotes long-term healing, Shockwave therapy could be an ideal solution.
Your Experience During Treatment:
During a shockwave therapy session, you might experience a slight discomfort depending on the severity of your pain; however, this is typically minimal. The intensity of the therapy can be adjusted to ensure your comfort throughout the session. Most patients begin to feel relief after just one session. However, a typical course of treatment usually includes about six sessions for three to six weeks, depending on the specific needs and sensitivity of the patient.
Shockwave therapy is very safe with minimal side effects. Some patients may experience temporary soreness or swelling, which typically subsides quickly.
