The name may sound intimidating. The truth is, though, that this treatment is an effective and non-invasive means of treating a range of musculoskeletal conditions. It offers many benefits. Let\u2019s take a closer look at what <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ashevillenso.com\/shockwave-therapy.html\">shockwave therapy<\/a> is and what it may be able to do for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Shockwave Therapy: The Basics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Musculoskeletal shockwave therapy involves the use of an advanced device that is applied to the exterior of the body. It transmits low-frequency acoustic waves. Those waves increase blood flow to the targeted area, which can speed up the healing of damaged tissues and lead to long-term pain relief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shockwave therapy can be used to treat many types of aches and pains, such as knee pain, shoulder pain, back pain, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two types of shockwave therapy. <strong>Radial shockwave therapy <\/strong>penetrates just a few centimeters and can be used to treat conditions near the surface of the skin. <strong>Focused shockwave therapy <\/strong>reaches deeper into the body and often provides more powerful benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Benefits of Shockwave Therapy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the most outstanding benefits of shockwave therapy include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Efficiency<\/strong>: Sessions are brief, typically lasting less than 15-20 minutes, with no required downtime. Patients can immediately resume their normal activities.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Non-invasive<\/strong>: The procedure does not involve needles, scalpels, or any other sharp instruments.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Quick Results<\/strong>: Depending on your condition, noticeable improvements may occur after only a few sessions. During your consultation, your doctor can provide an estimate of the number of sessions needed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Minimal Discomfort<\/strong>: While shockwave therapy may cause mild discomfort, it is generally not extremely painful. Many patients compare the sensation to that of a deep tissue massage.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Long-lasting Relief<\/strong>: Many patients experience extended relief from pain following a series of shockwave therapy sessions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Research-backed<\/strong>: Numerous studies have consistently demonstrated the effectiveness and benefits of shockwave therapy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Complementary<\/strong>: Shockwave therapy can be integrated with other treatments as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Non-pharmaceutical<\/strong>: The therapy avoids the risks associated with drug interactions and side effects.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you ready to secure a pain free future? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tebra.com\/care\/provider\/james-pinkston-do-1629464060\">Schedule your appointment online today<\/a> or call the office at 828-417-9913.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Have you heard of shockwave therapy?
