What is Shockwave Therapy

Wilson Health Services believes that fast results should be the result of Physiotherapy, and we want all of our clients to be able to access many different effective treatment methods in order to ensure their recovery. We are very excited about adding Shockwave Therapy to the list of treatment methods that we offer to our clients.

The body’s healing process is accelerated by Radial Shockwave Therapy by enhancing blood circulation and stimulating metabolism in order to regenerate damaged tissue.

It is achieved when Radial Shockwaves, similar to vibratory sound waves, get transmitted into the patient’s tissue. Shockwave Therapy can be described as a “massage from the inside to the outside.” Vibrational Radial Shockwaves are able to penetrate deep inside the patient’s muscle tissue, in areas that cannot be reached using traditional manual therapies. Micro-cavitation bubbles are created by Vibrational Shockwaves deep inside the tissue and they expand and burst to stimulate healing.

Also, shockwaves help the body with growing new blood vessels in those areas where the blood supply might have been compromised due to prolonged myofascial tension and adhesion, which allows healing products to access those areas better. Other benefits that Shockwave Therapy provides include breaking calcification down which might be delaying chronic injury healing and causing pain as well as tissue renewal through stimulating collagen regeneration.

What is Laser Therapy

It has been proven that Laser Therapy is highly effective, painless, and safe for treating various types of chronic pain and acute injuries. It is especially helpful with “difficult-to-treat,” persistent and stubborn conditions, including muscle and joint pain, arthritis, as well as chronic neck and back pain.

Oxygen is promoted by Laser Therapy into the immediate area. This increases blood flow and also helps with circulation inside the body and into the affected areas. The most significant benefit of Laser Therapy is that it works to stimulate the natural process that occurs inside the cells, which eliminates pain and produces better recovery times.

Laser light that has differing duration and wavelengths penetrates the soft tissue in order to directly deliver energy to the injured tissue cells. This is a very beneficial effect for injured bone, cartilage, nerves, tendons, ligaments, muscle, and skin. The actual laser treatment is not painful. An array of lasers, or “treatment heads,” deliver laser, along with focused, deep penetrating laser “probes” in order to reach deeper areas of injured tissue.

There are some people who mistakenly believe that physiotherapy causes pain, and that is why they might avoid treatment. Others confuse Physiotherapy with other types of medical interventions that might be painful. Truthfully, the aim of physiotherapy is to relieve pain and not to cause it. Our Gueloh physiotherapists are trained to be able to perform range-of-motion as well as other modalities within a pain-free range.
