How Does Shockwave Therapy Influence Blood Circulation? Edmonton

One of the major benefits of shockwave therapy is its ability to significantly influence blood circulation in targeted areas, promoting healing and tissue repair. At Physiotherapy Edmonton, we utilize shockwave therapy as an innovative treatment to address a variety of musculoskeletal conditions. 

Understanding Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy uses high-energy acoustic waves that are directed towards areas of pain or injury in the body. These waves stimulate tissue healing and repair by increasing blood flow, promoting cell regeneration, and encouraging collagen production. This non-invasive procedure is effective in treating conditions such as tendinitis, plantar fasciitis, and calcific shoulder tendinopathy.

The Role of Shockwave Therapy in Circulation
Blood circulation is crucial for tissue repair, as it ensures that oxygen and nutrients are delivered to injured areas, and waste products are removed. Poor circulation can slow down the healing process, to chronic pain and delayed recovery.

Shockwave therapy helps to overcome this challenge by:

1. 
   

   Increasing Blood Flow: The acoustic waves created by shockwave therapy promote vasodilation, or the widening of blood vessels, which leads to improved circulation.

   
   


2. 
   

   Stimulating Collagen Production: Shockwaves encourage the production of collagen, a protein essential for tissue healing. Collagen fibers help to strengthen tendons, ligaments, and muscles, which are vital for recovery.

   
   


3. 
   

   Reducing Inflammation: The therapy also reduces inflammation by promoting the removal of metabolic waste products that accumulate in the tissues, helping to relieve pain and swelling.

   
   

With improved blood circulation, the healing process accelerates, and patients often experience reduced pain, enhanced mobility, and faster recovery times.

Who Can Benefit from Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy is beneficial for individuals suffering from:

• 
  

  Chronic tendinopathies (e.g., tennis elbow, Achilles tendinopathy)

  
  


• 
  

  Plantar fasciitis

  
  


• 
  

  Calcific shoulder tendinopathy

  
  


• 
  

  Myofascial pain syndromes
