Are you suffering from chronic pain or a nagging injury that just won't go away? We offer an innovative solution called shockwave therapy. As a trusted chiropractic office in Marin County and the San Francisco Bay Area, we understand the importance of finding beneficial treatments that promote healing and improve overall well-being. Read on to discover how shockwave therapy can help you regain control of your health and get back to living your best life.
**What is Shockwave Therapy?**
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that utilizes high-energy sound waves to stimulate the body's natural healing response. This form of therapy has been shown to effectively treat various musculoskeletal conditions, including chronic pain, sports injuries, and tendonitis. By delivering acoustic waves to the affected area, shockwave therapy promotes tissue regeneration, breaks up scar tissue, increases blood circulation, and reduces pain and inflammation. We use both Focused and Radial Shockwave devices.
**How Does it Work?**
During a shockwave therapy session, a chiropractor or trained therapist uses a specialized device to deliver controlled sound waves deep into to the targeted area. These waves have been shown to create mild microtrauma, which triggers an inflammatory response and stimulates the production of new blood vessels, collagen, and other crucial healing components. As a result, damaged tissues are revitalized, pain is alleviated, and the body's natural healing mechanisms are enhanced. Think of Newtons Hammock where the forces travel through stainless steel and into your tissue!
