Medwave Shockwave Therapy in Oceanside

How MedWave™ Therapy Works

An acoustic wave is defined as a wave with a rapid increase of increase of pressure within a very short time and then having a gradual decrease of pressure with a small negative pressure phase. Acoustic wave is aimed at the affected areas that are the sources of chronic pain.

During the treatment session, a high intensity acoustic wave interacts with the tissues of the body. This leads to a cascade of beneficial effects including neovascularisation in growth, reversal of chronic inflammation, stimulation of collagen and dissolution of calcium build-up. Stimulation of these biological mechanisms creates an optimal healing environment.

The production of a sufficient amount of collagen is a necessary precondition for the repair processes to the damaged myoskeletal and ligamentous structures.
