Shockwave Trigger Point Therapy is the most advanced and highly effective non-invasive treatment for neuromuscular disorders approved by the FDA. This proprietary technology is based on a unique set of pressure waves that stimulate metabolism, enhance blood circulation, and accelerate the healing process. Damaged tissue gradually regenerates and eventually heals.
This non-invasive procedure represents a breakthrough treatment option for a broad range of musculoskeletal conditions.
Indications include painful trigger points (acute and chronic painful neck, back, shoulder, etc. due to chronically shortened and thickened muscle tissue) and various sport injuries.
The benefits include:
1. Accelerated tissue repair and cell growth: the new blood vessels will improve the blood supply and the oxygenation resulting in faster healing.
2. Reversal of chronic inflammation. The releasing of pro-inflammatory compounds, when needed, may help to restore the normal healing and regenerative processes.
3. Stimulation of collagen. The production of sufficient amounts of collagen is a necessary precondition of the tissue repair process. Shockwave therapy hastens procollagen synthesis.
In Acupuncture and Natural Medicine Clinic, Helena Amos combines shockwave technology with other techniques like Acupuncture and Trigger Point Therapy to enhance the effectiveness of the treatment.
