Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave therapy, a non-intrusive method, utilises sound energy to bring about physical changes by administering compressive and tensile forces at tissue interfaces.

This process prompts cells to release cytokines and growth factors, initiating a sequence of healing responses. The therapy exerts its impact through four primary effects predominantly propelled by cytokines and growth factors crucial for the healing process:

  1. Enhanced Blood Circulation (Neovascularisation):
    Shockwave therapy fosters neovascularisation, improving blood circulation to the designated area. This heightened blood flow contributes to the overall enhancement of tissue health.
  2. Management of Pain and Inflammation (NO Cycle):
    By influencing the nitric oxide (NO) cycle, shockwave therapy effectively regulates pain and inflammation. This mechanism plays a crucial role in alleviating discomfort associated with various conditions, such as arthritis, soft tissue injuries, and fractures.
  3. Stimulation of Bone Morphogenetic Protein:
    The therapy triggers the release of bone morphogenetic protein, a critical factor in bone regeneration. This effect supports the healing process, particularly in cases involving fractures or bone-related injuries.
  4. Improved Healing of Tendons and Ligaments:
    Shockwave therapy contributes to the enhanced quality of tendon and ligament healing by encouraging a more linear fiber pattern. This structural improvement signifies a positive impact on the integrity and resilience of these connective tissues.


Moreover, the therapy provides a temporary analgesic effect, offering valuable relief to our canine companions. Serving as a versatile treatment option, shockwave therapy addresses a range of conditions, highlighting its effectiveness in alleviating pain, inflammation, and swelling. By harnessing the body's natural healing mechanisms, this approach stands as a valuable ally in supporting the well-being of our furry friends.
