The Science behind Shockwave therapy:
The effects of shockwave occur across several levels:
1. Cell Level Change – boost the release of the chemical substances that help to prevent pain and inflammation.
2. Blood Flow Change – stimuluate new blood flow into the affected area which improves soft tissue healing and regeneration.
3. Muscle Tone Reduction – reduces the contractile activity of muscle, break patterns of neuro-cognitive pain, effectively decreases muscle tone and spasm
4. Pain Reduction – directly affect the nerve fibres that transmit pain signals to our brain.
