What Is Shockwave Therapy in Littleton?

Shockwave Therapy works by sending acoustic waves directly to the area triggering pain. Initially the therapy was developed to help break up kidney stones during lithotripsy, but research has shown that the same technology and acoustic waves can help with various orthopedic injuries.

Shockwave Therapy in Littleton is a non-invasive and non-surgical procedure performed in our Littleton medical office. Using the handheld wand, precise and targeted acoustic waves are delivered to the deep tissues, making it an effective alternative to pain medication and surgery.

Most patients see results from Shockwave Therapy in as little as a few treatments, and some notice immediate relief after the first visit.

Does Shockwave Therapy Actually Reduce Pain?

You would be amazed at some of the medical and technological advances we are seeing for pain management in Littleton, and Shockwave Therapy is one of them. During the in-office treatment, the acoustic waves interrupt the pain pathways and inflamed nerves while stimulating cells and the body’s intrinsic healing mechanism. These targeted and precise waves lead to the restoration of healthy functioning cells and brings new blood flow to the area (i.e. the foot, heel, shoulder, elbow, etc.) to help promote natural healing.
