What are the Benefits of Treating Knee Pain With Shockwave Therapy?
At Smith Chiropractic, Dr. Ammon Jacobson has extensive experience in injury recovery and rehabilitation. If you are dealing with significant knee pain or a knee injury that won’t heal, Dr. Jacobson may recommend shockwave therapy. Shockwave therapy is particularly effective at treating soft tissue injuries, joint injuries, and repetitive stress injuries. Here is a look at some of the benefits of knee pain treatment with shockwave therapy in Colorado Springs, CO.
Avoid the Need for Knee Surgery
Shockwave therapy is nonsurgical and non-invasive. After four to six sessions of shockwave therapy, you can potentially avoid the need to undergo knee surgery. Shockwave therapy can also help you recover faster post-surgery. If you had knee surgery and are still dealing with pain, swelling, stiffness, inflammation, or mobility issues, shockwave therapy can offer relief. Shockwave therapy can also reduce the formation of scar tissue and break apart calcifications that could affect your healing process or cause further pain.
Restore Range of Motion and Flexibility
Shockwave therapy jump starts certain biological processes in the body that accelerate healing. As your body absorbs the acoustic waves, it will increase blood and oxygen flow to the injured area. Shockwave therapy can promote cell and tissue regeneration and reduce scar tissue and calcification. It can also relieve pain and inflammation. After a few treatment sessions with Dr. Jacobson, you will notice improved range of motion and flexibility in your knee, and reduced pain when you walk and move around.
Effective for a Wide Range of Knee Conditions
Dr. Jacobson will evaluate the underlying cause of your knee pain and determine if shockwave therapy is right for you. Shockwave therapy is the ideal treatment option for soft tissue injuries, musculoskeletal conditions, and repetitive stress injuries, and can be used to treat knee pain related to:
- Osteoarthritis
- Arthritis
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Bursitis
- Runner’s knee
- ACL injuries
- Patellar tendinitis
