Shockwave Therapy is a breakthrough therapy that penetrates through  chronically injured tissue, breaking up the scar tissue, and creating a re-vascularization (new blood supply) to heal naturally. People with chronic muscle, tendon, and  connective tissue pain often have old patterns that have developed. Shockwave Therapy, uses a hand instrument to generate a pulsing, pressure wave that travel deeper into the surrounding tissue, spreading as it penetrates.

If you haven’t responded to other therapies for chronic soft tissue problems, or if you know that further results are possible, you have to try this therapy. Offering a variety of forms of this treatment is another example of Lake Country Health Center utilizing the latest technology aiding in producing amazing clinical results to effectively get you back to doing what you love efficiently!

While treatment times may vary from patient to patient based on his or her condition(s), typically an average of 1,500-2,000 impulses are administered per session. This may take between 1 minute to 5 minutes depending on the area needing treatment. The total number of treatments if generally 6-12 depending upon a variety of factors which will be evaluated by Dr. Murray or Dr. Meye. It is often important to remember that the immediate relief of pain, that this therapy provides, does not mean the condition is fully healed. After all, pain is the body's last response to issues under the surface. Therefore, if a course of therapy is suggested by the doctors, completing all of the treatments will improve your chances of long term success.
