Shockwave Therapy in Mississauga

A shockwave is an acoustic wave that carries high energy to painful spots and skeletal tissues with subacute, sub chronic, and chronic conditions. The energy promotes regeneration and reparative processes of the bones, tendons, and other soft tissues.

In cell: enhances cell membrane permeability by increasing ion channel activity, promoting cell division, and stimulating cytokine production.

In tendon and muscle blood vessels: improves blood circulation, increases biogenic factor β1, and enhances osteoblast mitosis.

In nitrogen oxide system: accelerates bone remodeling and healing.

1. Improves microcirculation and metabolism
2. Promotes the dissolution of calcified fibrocytes
3. Promotes collagen synthesis
4. Reduces tissue tension
5. Alleviates pain

While shockwave therapy is safe for most individuals, your chiropractor will assess your specific situation to determine if cold laser therapy is right for you. It may not be recommended if you have one of the following conditions:

Close to the womb during pregnancy
On malignant tumors or nearby tissues
Near the brain or spine
Near the lungs
On a patient with any type of bleeding disorder

We are firm believers in research and in validation so that our patients get the best possible treatment for their condition. The research for shockwave therapy is growing every year, and here are some known benefits:

Improvement in pain control in those with plantar heel pain (FULL ARTICLE)
Improvement in pain control and Range of Motion in knee tendinopathies (FULL ARTICLE)
Reduction of lesion size for plantar fasciitis, rotator cuff calcific tendinitis, and osteonecrosis of the femoral head (FULL ARTICLE)
