Shockwave Therapy in Cochrane

How Does Shockwave Therapy Work?

Shockwave therapy is an acoustic wave that carries high energy to painful spots and musculoskeletal tissues with acute, subacute and chronic conditions. The energy promotes regeneration and reparative processes of the bones, tendons and other soft tissues.

Shockwave therapy is characterized by high amplitude changes in pressure which increases circulation and begins the healing process. The kinetic energy of the projectile, created by pneumatically generated air, is transferred from the applicator deep into the affected soft tissue.

What can we expect during a session of shockwave therapy? Cochrane clients typically find the treatment painless, although some may feel a slight discomfort from the physical pulses. The intensity of the treatment can be adjusted for your comfort. There is no recover time required after a shockwave therapy treatment.
