Shockwave and Cold Laser Massage Therapy in South Edmonton

 Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses sound waves to break down scar tissue and promote healing.

A common misconception is that shockwave "shocks" patients. This is not the case, it utilizes  acoustic sound waves to break up calcium adhesions, such as scar tissue, and promotes healing to injured tissues. When a problem has been present for a long time, the body stops healing an area, shockwave can help the body start healing again.

Cold laser therapy is a painless treatment that harnesses the power of red, infrared, and LED light to promote tissue healing and accelerate pain relief. 

This therapy specifically targets muscles, tendons, and ligaments, enhancing their recovery process. The light stimulates cellular metabolism, boosts ATP (energy) production, and increases the generation of stem cells (healing cells) while improving oxygen distribution to the cells. Additionally, it speeds up the removal of excess inflammation, which can lead to long-term complications if left unchecked.

Together, these effects can reduce healing time and pain by up to four times compared to traditional methods.

Combining shockwave therapy and cold laser therapy provides powerful benefits for accelerated healing and pain relief. Shockwave therapy promotes tissue regeneration, increases blood flow, and breaks down scar tissue, making it particularly effective for chronic pain and stubborn injuries. Cold laser therapy complements these effects by enhancing cellular energy and reducing inflammation, further facilitating recovery and tissue repair.

Together, these therapies amplify the body’s natural healing processes, kickstarting recovery that may not have occurred on its own. This combination proves to be highly effective for addressing musculoskeletal issues, soft tissue injuries (such as those affecting muscles, tendons, and ligaments), and providing long-lasting pain relief.
