Shockwave Therapy in Boise
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses pressurized acoustic sound waves to treat a variety of musculoskeletal conditions. The treatment is performed in the clinic using a hand-held device to deliver the sound waves to the affected area of the body.
Radial pressure sound waves work by stimulating the body’s natural healing processes, leading to improved blood flow and new cell proliferation. The treatments can smooth trigger points, reduce muscle spasm, disintegrate tendon calcifications and decrease pain overall.
How Shockwave Therapy Can Be Helpful
This therapy can be used to treat a wide range of conditions, including plantar fasciitis, TMJ, tennis elbow, achilles tendinitis, patellar tendinitis, shoulder pain, hip pain, knee pain, neck and back pain, and many other musculoskeletal conditions.
Shockwave technology is also widely used to help with erectile dysfunction. This therapy can stimulate new blood vessel formation leading to increased blood flow to the penis resulting in better erections.
The shockwave procedure is well-tolerated, and performed in a relatively short amount of time, usually 10-20 minutes. A large variety of areas can be treated, with excellent results in as few as 1-5 treatments.
Our team at Boise Biologics follows the latest research models by employing several weeks of shockwave therapy following areas treated with BMAC (stem cells) and PRP (platelet rich plasma) in order to achieve the most optimal results.
