Softwave Therapy

Shockwave Therapy, or Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (EWST), is a non-invasive treatment that involves the delivery of shock waves to an injured area to promote healing. This treatment produces highly effective shock waves that initiate biological regeneration processes at the cellular level.

Treatment involving technology that applies short, frequent, and high intensity bursts of mechanical energy (in the form of a shockwave) into soft tissue that is injured, scarred, or contains adhesions, is painful, or inflamed.

Shockwave Therapy benefits include:
 

• Increases blood supply Modulates inflammation
• Stimulates and activates stem cells
• Repairs and regenerate’s tissue
• Reduces acute and chronic pain

Therapeutic Effects of SoftWave Therapy

• Pain relief – analgesic effect
• Anti-inflammatory action:
  • Lowers the pro-inflammatory immune response
  • Decreases cellular apoptosis and reduces necrosis
• Antibacterial effect in the treatment of infections
• Induces the expression of endogenous growth factors
• Angiogenesis; improved vascularity and blood circulation, tissue supply
• Ossification; formation of new bone tissue
• Stimulates natural anabolic and growth functions in all kinds of tissues
  (skin, bones, cartilage, smooth & striated muscles, nerves…)
• Activation of stem cells; metabolism ↑, proliferation ↑, migration ↑, differentiation ↑
• Tissue remodeling and regeneration!
