Arthritis is a common condition that affects millions of people worldwide, causing pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. At Solutions Acupuncture™ & Naturopathic Medicine, PLLC, we are dedicated to providing innovative and effective treatments to help our patients manage their arthritis symptoms and improve their quality of life. One such treatment is shockwave therapy, a non-invasive and highly effective option for those suffering from arthritis.
What is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy, also known as extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT), is a non-surgical treatment that uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate healing and reduce pain in damaged tissues. This therapy has been widely used in treating various musculoskeletal conditions, including arthritis.
How Does Shockwave Therapy Work?
Shockwave therapy works by delivering controlled acoustic waves to the affected area. These waves create microtraumas in the tissues, which trigger the body's natural healing response. This process increases blood flow, reduces inflammation, and promotes the regeneration of damaged tissues. The result is a significant reduction in pain and improvement in joint function.
Benefits of Shockwave Therapy for Arthritis
At Solutions Acupuncture™ & Naturopathic Medicine, PLLC, we have seen firsthand the numerous benefits of shockwave therapy for arthritis patients, including:
Pain Relief: Many patients experience a noticeable reduction in pain after just a few sessions of shockwave therapy.
Improved Mobility: As inflammation decreases and tissues heal, patients often regain a greater range of motion in their affected joints.
Non-Invasive: Unlike surgical options, shockwave therapy is non-invasive, meaning there are no incisions, stitches, or lengthy recovery times.
Quick and Convenient: Each session typically lasts only 15-20 minutes, making it easy to fit into even the busiest schedules.
Long-Lasting Results: Patients often report sustained improvements in their symptoms for months after completing their treatment regimen.
What to Expect During Your Shockwave Therapy Session
When you visit Solutions Acupuncture™ & Naturopathic Medicine, PLLC for shockwave therapy, our experienced practitioners will first conduct a thorough assessment to determine the best treatment plan for your specific needs. During the session, you will be comfortably positioned, and a gel will be applied to the treatment area to enhance the transmission of the shockwaves. The therapy device will then be used to deliver precise pulses to the affected joint.
Most patients tolerate the treatment well, with minimal discomfort during the procedure. Some may experience mild soreness or bruising in the treated area, which typically resolves within a few days.
Is Shockwave Therapy Right for You?
Shockwave therapy is a safe and effective treatment for many people with arthritis. However, it may not be suitable for everyone. Our team at Solutions Acupuncture™ & Naturopathic Medicine, PLLC will carefully evaluate your medical history and current health status to determine if this therapy is the right choice for you.
