How Shockwave Therapy Actually Works

What does shockwave therapy actually do? In this video, we take a closer look at the clinical use of shockwave therapy, including tissue desensitization, tendon loading, treatment intensity, and the differences between radial and focused shockwave. One of the key points discussed is that tissue desensitization may be one of the most useful effects of shockwave therapy. While there is also evidence suggesting potential effects on collagen synthesis, blood vessel formation, and inflammation, the response can depend on the treatment intensity and the individual patient. The conversation also explores how shockwave therapy can be combined with progressive tendon loading. Rather than viewing shockwave as a standalone solution, it can be used as part of a broader rehabilitation strategy. The video also discusses other proposed effects of shockwave therapy, including collagen synthesis, blood vessel formation, and changes in inflammation. However, the response to treatment can depend on the condition, patient, treatment intensity, and the specific shockwave device being used. 👉🏻 How Shockwave Therapy Actually Works – Listen to Lukasz Oleksiewicz break down the reality of treating highly agitated patients and chronic, reactive tendinopathies. Learn how to move away from forcing mechanical assessments on patients in severe acute pain, and start using tools to calm the nervous system, build a strong therapeutic alliance, and apply different clinical filters to unlock better outcomes in the clinic. 💡In this video, you'll learn: ✅How shockwave therapy may affect painful tissue ✅Why tissue desensitization can be clinically useful ✅How shockwave can be combined with tendon loading ✅Why exercise remains an important part of tendon rehabilitation ✅The difference between radial and focused shockwave ✅How treatment intensity can vary between patients ✅Potential effects on collagen synthesis ✅Potential effects on blood vessel formation ✅The relationship between shockwave and inflammation ✅How shockwave may be used for Achilles tendinopathy ✅How shockwave may be used for plantar fasciitis ✅How shockwave may be used for tennis elbow Whether you're a physical therapist, physiotherapist, sports rehabilitation professional, healthcare student, clinician, athlete, or someone interested in tendon rehabilitation, this discussion provides valuable insight into the practical use of shockwave therapy. 👍If you're interested in shockwave therapy, tendinopathy, tendon loading, Achilles rehabilitation, plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, sports injuries, and evidence-based physiotherapy, this discussion provides useful clinical insight into how shockwave may fit into a comprehensive rehabilitation approach. 🎥Link to interview on YouTube: https://youtu.be/89cNCr2DvgI 🎙Listen on all platforms: https://bit.ly/45rzffO 🍁 𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝐏𝐓 𝐏𝐫𝐨 𝐓𝐚𝐥𝐤 𝐏𝐨𝐝𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐭 🍁 In this channel, you will find Physical Therapy-related content, like interviews with experts who share their views and experiences, providing relevant information to help Physical Therapists improve their practice and patient care! 📩 Don't miss out on podcast updates!📬: https://www.ptprotalk.com/ 🌐𝐅𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐌𝐞 𝐎𝐧 𝐒𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐬 https://www.instagram.com/ptprotalk/ https://www.facebook.com/ptprotalkpodcast https://www.linkedin.com/company/pt-pro-talk/ https://twitter.com/MariHannaParks 🎧Spotify: ptprotalk ✅𝐆𝐄𝐓 𝐈𝐍 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐂𝐇 📧 📩Email: mariana@ptprotalk.com 🕵️‍♂️Thank you for visiting our channel and watching all our videos.
