Musculoskeletal Shockwave Therapy in Chicago
Ease Your Joint Pain with this Non-Invasive Treatment
Muscle and joint pain can get in the way of your daily routine, making it difficult to do even simple tasks. Most often, people turn to pain medication to alleviate the pain, but this does not always address the root of the problem. If you’re looking for a non-invasive, effective way to ease your pain, have you heard of musculoskeletal shockwave therapy? In this post, we’ll discuss what it is, how it works, and how it can benefit you.
What is Musculoskeletal Shockwave Therapy?
Musculoskeletal Shockwave Therapy (MSWT) is a non-invasive, non-surgical treatment that uses high-intensity sound waves to treat musculoskeletal conditions such as plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, jumper’s knee, and chronic shoulder pain. It may help relieve pain, enhance blood circulation, improve mobility and accelerate healing. Depending on the injury, patients can often avoid invasive treatments such as surgery or steroid injections. And the best part, there is zero down time and no incisions.

Musculoskeletal Shockwave Therapy FAQ
The therapy uses a wand-like device that emits focused high-intensity sound waves to the affected area where tissue repair is needed. These waves trigger the body’s natural healing response, increasing the blood flow to the affected area and stimulating cell regeneration. The process also reduces inflammation, which alleviates pain and helps to promote healing.
