Tissue Regeneration Technologies.
This specific Tissue Regeneration Technologies uses extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) which penetrates deep into the tissue and thus to the site of injury. Shockwaves initiate a biologic healing response through a release of growth factors, anti-inflammatory agents, and an improved blood supply in response to ESWT. Shockwaves elicit a strong cellular response by activating mitochondria (the cell’s power source) in nerve cells. This latest generation ESWT device utilizes softwave therapy to help your body heal itself.
Millions of people have received shockwave treatment without any significant side effects. In a few cases, patients experience some pain during treatment – especially when the treatment area is close to bone or is acutely inflamed.
