Shockwave Resources

Shockwave is a revolutionary regenerative therapeutic technology that uses a high energy discharge to promote cellular repair of tendons, bones, and other soft tissues. This discharge initiates communication with and among cells, activating an intrinsic repair program within the tissue. This communication leads to the shedding of micro–vesicles from cell membranes, which contain nucleic acids, proteins, and other molecules that activate neighbouring cells and initiate intrinsic healing and repair mechanisms.

These mechanisms include the release of angiogenic growth factors, which leads to vessel sprouting (angiogenesis) and the activation of stem cells, which in turn causes new vessel formation (vasculogenesis). At the same time, an increase of the metabolic activity of cells, proliferation, and a positive, modulating effect on inflammation can be observed.

Shockwave is capable of traveling through the body at supersonic velocity, and its physical force causes no harm to cells. Results vary depending on each individual, but success rates are high and many patients see immediate improvement. Shockwave is a unique medical technology with no relevant side effects, and its potential to benefit your practice and your clients is unparalleled.
