Muscle Pain

Muscle pain is usually caused by injury or trauma that has resulted in muscle strains or tears. A muscle strain is when a few muscle fibers are damaged, while a tear occurs when many muscle fibers have been ripped or torn. Most sore and aching muscles are nothing to worry about and will resolve without medical treatment. However, the ones that are the most common causes of muscle pain are tension, stress, overuse, and minor injuries.

Shockwave Therapy uses focused sound energy that encourages regenerative healing in your muscles, including ligaments and tendons. The procedure sends sound waves deep into the site of your injury, pain, or chronic tightness. This treatment needs no anesthesia because it is not painful. While the soundwaves increase the blood flow to the injured area, they stimulate the body to kick off the healing process. The increase of blood flow brings additional nutrients to the injured tissue, which helps aid new blood vessels and the repair of bones and tissue.
