What Is Pressure Wave Therapy?

If you’re dealing with lingering pain, limited mobility, or an injury that just doesn’t seem to heal, Pressure Wave Therapy in Santa Rosa may be an effective, non-invasive solution. Also known as Acoustic Sound Wave Therapy, this advanced treatment is designed to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes - helping patients recover faster and move more comfortably.

What Is Pressure Wave Therapy?

Pressure Wave Therapy is a non-surgical treatment that uses high-energy acoustic sound waves to target injured or painful areas of the body. These sound waves travel through the skin and into deeper tissues, where they help stimulate circulation, reduce pain, and promote tissue repair. Pressure Wave Therapy works by encouraging the body to heal itself - making it a popular option for patients looking for drug-free pain relief.

How Does Pressure Wave Therapy Work?

During treatment, a handheld device delivers focused acoustic sound waves directly to the affected area. These waves create micro-stimulation within the tissue, which helps to:

• Increase blood flow and oxygen to the area

• Break down scar tissue and adhesions

• Stimulate collagen production

• Activate the body’s natural healing response

Most sessions are quick, typically lasting 10-15 minutes, and many patients begin noticing improvement after just a few treatments.

Conditions Pressure Wave Therapy Can Help With

Pressure Wave Therapy is commonly used to treat a variety of chronic and acute conditions, including:

• Plantar fasciitis

• Tendonitis (Achilles, patellar, rotator cuff, tennis elbow)

• Shoulder, hip, knee, and ankle pain

• Chronic neck and back pain

• Muscle strains and overuse injuries

• Scar tissue and soft tissue restrictions

This therapy is especially beneficial for conditions that have been slow to heal with rest or traditional treatments alone.

Benefits of Pressure Wave Therapy

Patients often choose Pressure Wave Therapy because it offers several advantages:

• Non-invasive and drug-free

• Minimal to no downtime

• Helps accelerate healing

• Reduces pain and inflammation

• Improves mobility and function

• Can help avoid injections or surgery

Because it targets the root cause of pain rather than just symptoms, Pressure Wave Therapy can provide long-lasting relief when combined with chiropractic care and rehabilitative exercises.
