Shockwave Therapy
Discover the Benefits of Shockwave Therapy in Charlotte at TruMotion Therapy
If you’re an active adult struggling with chronic pain or a nagging injury that just won’t go away, shockwave therapy might be the game-changing treatment you’ve been looking for. At TruMotion Therapy in Charlotte, we specialize in focused shockwave therapy-a highly effective, non-invasive technique that stimulates your body’s natural healing response and helps you recover faster.
The Science Behind Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy, a type of extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT), was first used in the 1980s to break up kidney stones. Since then, it has evolved to treat various musculoskeletal and soft tissue conditions.
This state-of-the-art method uses a wand that produces acoustic sound waves and energy to stimulate cellular repair and reduce inflammation at the source of pain. It effectively promotes more rapid recovery, enabling those who undergo treatments to put pain and inflammation in the past.
This treatment is safe, non-invasive, and proven to relieve the pain and discomfort. Plus, its non-surgical nature has made it increasingly popular among those looking for alternatives to other pain management options.
Conditions We Treat with Shockwave Therapy
At TruMotion Therapy, we use focused shockwave therapy to treat a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, including but not limited to:
– Frozen shoulder
– Muscle strains
– Sports injuries
– Knee osteoarthritis
Whether you’re training for a race, staying active in the gym, or just want to enjoy your daily life without pain, shockwave therapy can help you move forward with confidence.
What to Expect During a Shockwave Session
You may feel some mild soreness or pressure during the session, which is actually a good sign- it means we have targeted the correct area. Most patients tolerate the treatment well. Sessions are typically short, lasting around 10-15 minutes.
We generally recommend a series of 4-6 treatments, depending on the severity of the condition and how long it has been present. Many patients start to notice improvements within just a few visits.
Is All Shockwave the Same?
Not all shockwave therapy is created equal. At TruMotion Therapy, we utilize both focused and radial shockwave devices to provide customized treatment plans based on your specific needs and condition.
Focused vs. Radial Shockwave
Focused shockwave therapy is designed to target deep tissues such as joints, cartilage, and tendons. This type of shockwave is a powerful tool in regenerative medicine, helping to:
-
Stimulate cellular repair
-
Increase blood flow
-
Promote long-term healing
Radial shockwave therapy, on the other hand, disperses energy more broadly and is ideal for treating superficial tissues. It’s particularly effective at:
-
Reducing muscle tension
-
Relieving general pain and tightness
-
Enhancing mobility
The TruMotion Difference
At TruMotion, we use shockwave devices from Storz Medical, a Swiss manufacturer known as the gold standard in shockwave therapy. These are the same devices used in most clinical trials, ensuring you receive the most evidence-based and effective treatment available.
Unlike many clinics that delegate shockwave treatments to a technician, all of our shockwave sessions are performed by our physicians who have been trained through The Academy of Shockwave Excellence. This ensures:
-
Expert-level precision
-
Real-time clinical decision-making
-
Treatments that are tailored to your unique pathology
Whether you’re recovering from a chronic tendon issue, joint pain, or muscular strain, our dual shockwave approach helps restore movement, relieve pain, and accelerate healing.
