What is Shockwave Therapy? 

Shockwave therapy is a type of non-invasive treatment used to treat a variety of conditions. It transmits high intensity, mechanical energy pulses to injured tissue, ultimately stimulating a healing response within your body. Shockwave therapy is frequently complemented by physiotherapy and/or chiropractic treatments such as manual therapy and exercise prescription for optimal results.

How Does Shockwave Therapy Treatment Restore Function? 

Through targeted stimulation and pain reduction, shockwave therapy restores natural function and enhances recovery.

Enhancing Blood Circulation

Shockwave therapy works by sending high-energy acoustic waves into the affected tissues, which enhances blood flow and improves circulation.

Reducing Inflammation

Inflammation is a common source of pain and dysfunction in musculoskeletal conditions. Shockwave treatment helps to reduce inflammation by stimulating cellular activity and promoting the release of anti-inflammatory mediators. 

Alleviating Pain

Shockwave provides immediate pain relief by desensitizing nerve endings in the treated area. This reduction in pain allows clients to engage in rehabilitation exercises and daily activities.

Is Shockwave Therapy Right for You? 

If you are suffering from soft tissue injuries (such as tennis elbow, Achilles tendinopathy, plantar fasciitis, rotator cuff tendinopathy, calcifications, scar tissue, trigger point, and much more), shockwave therapy may be suitable for you.

What Should I Wear to an IMS Treatment Session?

It’s best to wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing to the treatment session to allow easy access to the areas being treated. Your therapist may provide additional guidance on appropriate attire based on your specific treatment plan.

Can IMS Help with Sports Injuries?

Yes, the treatment can be highly beneficial for athletes and active individuals recovering from sports injuries. It helps reduce muscle tightness, improve range of motion, and speed up recovery time, allowing athletes to return to their sport more quickly and with less pain.

Can IMS help with stress-related muscle tension?

Yes, the treatment can be highly effective in relieving stress-related muscle tension. By releasing tight muscles and improving circulation, IMS helps reduce stress-induced pain and promotes relaxation, making it an excellent option for those dealing with tension headaches or upper and lower back and neck tightness.

How Soon Can I Expect to See Results from IMS Treatment?

Many patients report feeling some level of relief immediately after their first treatment session. However, significant improvements often occur after several sessions as the muscles begin to respond and heal. Consistency and adherence to your therapist’s recommendations are key to achieving the best outcomes.

Is IMS suitable for everyone?

The treatment is suitable for most individuals with musculoskeletal pain, but it may not be appropriate for everyone. It’s important to discuss your medical history and any existing health conditions with your therapist before starting treatment. Your therapist will determine if the treatment is the right option for you and tailor the treatment to your specific needs.

How many Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS) treatment sessions will I need?

The number of treatment sessions required varies depending on the individual and the condition being treated. Some clients experience significant improvement after just one to three sessions, a few sessions while others may require ongoing treatment for chronic conditions. Your therapist will assess your specific needs and develop a personalized treatment plan to achieve the best results.

Are There Any Side Effects of IMS treatment?

It is generally safe with minimal side effects. Some clients may experience temporary soreness or bruising at the needle insertion sites. These effects typically resolve within a few one to two days. It’s important to communicate with your therapist if you experience any unusual or prolonged discomfort following treatment.

How does IMS treatment work?

It works by inserting fine needles into specific muscles where tightness or trigger points are identified. The needles cause a twitch response in the muscle, which helps release tension and restore normal muscle function. This process also increases blood flow and stimulates the body’s natural healing mechanisms, leading to reduced pain and improved mobility.

What is IMS Treatment?

Intramuscular Stimulation treatment is a therapeutic technique used to relieve pain and improve muscle function. It involves the use of fine needles, similar to acupuncture needles, to target tight muscles and trigger points. By stimulating these areas, it helps release muscle tension, improve circulation, and promote healing.
