“As a chiropractor, I’ve explored various treatments for my persistent knee pain, but Stemwave therapy at PRO Therapy has been the most effective. The team was knowledgeable, professional, and made me feel comfortable throughout the process.
Since starting treatment, my knee pain has improved significantly and the constant ache I was having is gone.”
How Does Our Advanced StemWave™ Technology Work?
At PRO Therapy, we utilize cutting-edge StemWave™ Technology. This innovative approach delivers focused, powerful acoustic waves to damaged tissues and areas of inflammation. This is beneficial for more challenging injuries, deep tissue issues, or when a more focused approach is desired. Triggering a cascade of beneficial responses:
- Pain Reduction: Ease chronic pain quickly and effectively.
- Mobility Enhancement: Improve mobility as inflammation decreases and muscles relax.
- Accelerated Healing: Boosts blood flow and cellular activity, speeding up the recovery from soft tissue injuries.
This activation jumpstarts the biological healing process, sending your body’s own healing agents to the exact areas that need it most.
Is Shockwave Therapy Right for YOU? Common Conditions We Treat
At PRO Therapy, we work closely with you to understand your goals and create a personalized treatment plan to get you back to the activities you enjoy. Our highly skilled physical therapists use Shockwave Therapy coupled with other specialized treatment styles and techniques
to address a variety of conditions, including:
Chronic Pain Conditions
Chronic pain can severely impact your daily life, interrupting normal activities and diminishing your overall quality of life. Conditions such as tennis elbow, plantar fasciitis, and lateral epicondylitis are common culprits. These ailments often result in persistent pain due to inflammation or wear and tear of connective tissues.
Shockwave Therapy shines in these scenarios by offering substantial pain reduction and aiding in the regeneration of tissues. The treatment works by stimulating blood flow and collagen production, which not only provides immediate relief but also facilitates long-term healing. By using Shockwave Therapy, you might find a significant improvement in your symptoms, allowing you to engage more comfortably in daily activities.
Musculoskeletal Disorders
Musculoskeletal disorders encompass a wide range of conditions affecting muscles, bones, and joints, such as arthritis or tendinitis. These disorders can lead to chronic pain and reduced mobility, often requiring a combination of therapies for effective management. Shockwave Therapy offers a conservative treatment option with its ability to enhance blood circulation and stimulate tissue regeneration.
By focusing acoustic waves on the affected area, it promotes the healing process in soft tissues and helps in reducing inflammation. Over time, patients often notice an improvement in flexibility and a reduction in pain, thus making it easier to perform routine activities with ease and comfort.
Sports Injuries
Sports injuries are common among athletes and active individuals, often affecting muscles, ligaments, and tendons. Whether it’s a sprain, strain, or a more severe injury like patellar tendinopathy, Shockwave Therapy can provide a swift and effective route to recovery. The therapy’s role in increasing blood flow and enhancing the body’s natural healing process can significantly reduce recovery time.
Athletes report an improvement in their capacity to return to their active lifestyles more quickly, without the need for surgical intervention. Integrating Shockwave Therapy into a rehabilitation routine can support not only pain relief but also strengthen the affected tissues, minimizing the risk of re-injury.
