Shockwave Therapy in Komoka

Shockwave therapy in Komoka is an acoustic wave or pressure wave which carries high energy to painful spots and myoskeletal tissues. The energy values of the shockwave device are low enough to deliver gentle therapy, but high enough to promote physiological changes to the tissue and trigger healing, reparative and regenerative processes.

SHOCKWAVE THERAPY IN KOMOKA

In the Shockwave therapy device, the energy is created by transferring compressed air under large pressure from the main device into the applicator. In the applicator, the kinetic energy of the air is translated onto the projectile which is consequently pushed at high speed against the transmitter at the end of the applicator. A High-energy-peak acoustic wave is generated on the outer edge of the transmitter.

Upon contact with the skin, acoustic waves penetrate the tissue non-invasively and promote overall medical effects of accelerated tissue repair and cell growth, analgesia and mobility restoration.

There are several key effects which are typically employed simultaneously. New blood vessel formation is caused by the shockwave therapy through creating capillary micro ruptures in tendon and bone, thus triggering repair processes. Reversal of chronic inflammation is achieved by increasing mast cell activity. Shockwave also stimulates collagen production by accelerating procollagen synthesis. One of the praised effects of Shockwave therapy is breaking up the calcium build-up in calcific disorders and triggering dispersion of pain mediators and releasing trigger points.
