Advanced Regenerative Therapy 

Heal Faster With Shockwave 

So your doc has just prescribed shockwave therapy, and now you’re haunted by images of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest or Castle Frankenstein. Fear not–shockwave therapy is entirely different from electroconvulsive therapy and tissue reanimation (which isn’t even a thing).

Shockwave therapy is not some Frankenstein Experiment, but it does give new life to injured tissues in the body! Shockwave has impressive cellular regeneration properties.

When shockwave was introduced to healthcare in the late ‘60s, it was used for disintegrating large kidney stones so that patients could more easily eliminate them. Thirty years later, experimentation of shockwave on injuries revealed further mind-blowing properties:

  • Stimulation of the exposed nerve endings of injured tissues directly lessens pain.
  • By increasing circulation to the injured tissues and stimulating tissue-growing cells, healing is accelerated.

Shockwave therapy supports the generation of healthy cells after a sports injury. This therapy can bring increased signals to the brain for injury healing support.

Your Cornerstone providers often use shockwave with patients for just those reasons: to speed up tissue healing and reduce pain. We’ve found it especially helpful in treating the following conditions:

  • Tendinitis, e.g. tennis elbow
  • Sprains, e.g. twisted ankles
  • Osteoarthritis
  • Meniscus tears
  • SLAP tear
  • Plantar fasciitis

Shockwave: A Non-Invasive Approach to Tissue Restoration

Shockwave can precisely access tissues that are otherwise untouchable, such as those deep inside the joints. It can be a great alternative to surgery–ask about our “non-surgical hip/knee replacement”!

 

Over 75% of our shockwave patients vouch that the modality has effectively treated their injuries. Contact Cornerstone today and see for yourself.
