What Is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy is a groundbreaking regenerative treatment that uses focused shockwaves to reduce pain and promote healing for individuals suffering from sports injuries or chronic degenerative conditions. This noninvasive technique performed by the provider-led team at TOP ReNu Medicine can be used to treat a number of conditions, including tendinopathy, tennis elbow, bursitis, and more, all without the scars and lengthy recovery time you may expect with surgery. If you're dealing with chronic pain or old injuries that won't seem to heal, we invite you to schedule a consultation at our practice in North Aurora, IL to learn about the benefits of shockwave therapy and find out if it's the ideal treatment for helping you live a more active, comfortable life.
How Does Shockwave Therapy Work?
Your shockwave treatment will take place with you sitting or lying back comfortably in one of our private treatment rooms. As you relax, a member of the TOP ReNu Medicine team will apply the shockwave device to the injured area where it will send gentle acoustic pulses into the tissues to increase the flow of blood and growth factors. These pulses will also help break down scar tissue to help with pain and mobility in the area. While you may feel minor discomfort during your treatment, most patients have no issues. When we're finished, you can get back to your day. While some patients experience noticeable pain relief after just one session, we usually recommend a series of shockwave therapy treatments at our North Aurora, IL practice to enjoy the full benefits.
What Are the Benefits of Shockwave Therapy?
For individuals suffering from chronic pain, just getting through the day can be unnecessarily difficult. Shockwave therapy at TOP ReNu Medicine can help by delivering a range of benefits, including:
- Increasing blood flow to injured tissues
- Releasing regenerative growth factors to promote healing
- Fighting inflammation
- Alleviating chronic pain
- Improving mobility by disrupting scar tissue
