Shock Waves in Physitania Physiotherapy
Effective Pain Treatment and Injury Recovery
At Fisitania Physiotherapy, we incorporate shock waves as an advanced technology in pain management and injury recovery. This innovative therapy is highly effective in treating both subacute and chronic injuries, accelerating the healing process naturally and without the need for medication.
How does shockwave therapy work?
The shock waves are generated by a compressed air projectile, which produces a high-energy acoustic wave. This wave is transmitted through an applicator to the injured tissue, stimulating biological processes that promote healing, cell regeneration and pain relief.
Key Benefits:
-
Tissue regeneration: Improves blood circulation and cell repair in damaged areas.
-
Pain reduction: It relieves chronic pain and decreases neurotransmitters associated with persistent pain.
-
Collagen stimulation: Promotes collagen production, essential for the repair of tendons, bones, and muscle tissues.
-
Removal of calcifications: It dissolves calcareous deposits in tendons, improving their mobility.
-
Anti-inflammatory effect: It activates inflammation processes, reducing the chronic inflammatory response.
