Effective Shockwave Therapy comes to Lampasas
Noninvasive Shockwaves to Heal Faster & Feel Better Soft tissue and joint pain can debilitate anyone, from those who sit at a desk for extended periods to those who run marathons—or do both. Finding relief is critical to your lifestyle. Shockwave therapy can help.
Shockwave therapy is a proven non-surgical procedure that has been offered to patients for nearly 15 years. It effectively treats chronic soft tissue conditions and musculoskeletal disorders, making it an ideal complement to chiropractic care for various complaints.
Common Conditions that Shockwave Treat
1. Plantar Fasciitis
2. Tennis Elbow (lateral epidcondylitis)
3. Golfers Elbow (medial epidcondylitis)
4. Rotator Cuff tendonitis
5. Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis)
6. Achilles Tendinitis
7. Patellar tendinitis (jumpers knee)
8. Hamstring injuries
9. Hip pain and bursitis
10. Carpal Tunnel
11. Knee Arthritis
How Does Shockwave Therapy Work? ESWT uses high-energy acoustic waves delivered to the skin via a transducer with a topical gel. These waves activate circulation, break down scar tissue, and promote new cell growth, leading to faster healing. Treatment sessions typically last between five and 10 minutes.
Regenerative Medicine Shockwaves create microtrauma in the targeted area, which triggers a cascade of biological responses. These responses include: Increased Blood Flow – The waves stimulate angiogenesis (formation of new blood vessels), improving oxygen and nutrient supply to tissues. Cellular Signaling & Growth Factor Release – Shockwaves activate growth factors like vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β), which are crucial for tissue repair. Collagen Production – Collagen is a key structural protein in tendons, ligaments, and cartilage. Shockwave therapy encourages fibroblast activity, leading to stronger and healthier tissue. Pain Reduction & Inflammation Modulation – Shockwaves reduce inflammation and promote the release of pain-relieving substances like endorphins.
Shockwave Therapy and Stem Cell Activation One of the most exciting aspects of shockwave therapy in regenerative medicine is its ability to mobilize stem cells to the treatment site. Here’s how: Activates Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs): Shockwaves stimulate dormant stem cells within bone marrow and soft tissues, encouraging them to migrate to injured areas. Enhances Differentiation Potential: Once activated, these stem cells can transform into specialized cells, such as chondrocytes (cartilage cells), osteoblasts (bone cells), or myocytes (muscle cells), aiding in tissue regeneration. Increases Exosome Production: Exosomes are tiny vesicles released by stem cells that carry proteins and genetic material essential for tissue healing. Shockwave therapy boosts their production, amplifying regenerative effects.
