There is a better way to treat stubborn pain
The acoustic waves (shocks) stimulate the body's natural healing mechanisms through microtrauma to the area. It triggers your own regenerative cells to come to the area and heal the tissue. It enhances vascularization and nerve regeneration as well.
Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology (EPAT®), also referred to as radial pressure wave (shockwave), delivers an evidence-based, non-surgical solution to relieve acute or chronic pain. Radial pressure waves generate oscillations in tissue which lead to improved microcirculation and increased metabolic activity. This kickstarts the body’s natural healing response and promotes healthy tissue regeneration for lasting relief from pain and restriction.
How Is Therapy Done?
Your Lombard IL therapist will discuss your symptoms with you and locate the source of pain. A gel is applied to optimize the contact between the application device and your skin. The handpiece delivers pulsations to the painful area for a number of prescribed pulses, depending on the condition.
