Shockwave Therapy in Mallorca
What is extracorporeal shockwave therapy and how does it work?
It is a technology where a piston makes contact with a metal applicator head adapted to the injured area and tissue, generating a physical shockwave that stimulates the body.
Thanks to the body’s capacity for mechanotransduction (the process by which our body converts physical stimuli into biochemical responses), we can induce a series of positive biological and physiological changes in the targeted tissue we wish to recover.
What injuries can be treated with shockwave therapy?
How is shockwave therapy performed at Imar Palma?
At Imar Palma, shockwave therapy is carried out safely, precisely, and tailored to the needs of each patient. Following an initial medical assessment, the area to be treated is identified, and the device parameters are adjusted according to the type of injury or pathology. During the session, high-energy acoustic impulses are applied directly to the affected area using a therapeutic applicator head, stimulating tissue regeneration and promoting functional recovery. The procedure typically lasts between 10 and 20 minutes, is outpatient, and does not require anesthesia.
Benefits of shockwave therapy
Shockwave therapy offers multiple therapeutic benefits, especially in chronic musculoskeletal injuries and tendinopathies. It stimulates tissue regeneration, improves blood circulation, and accelerates healing processes naturally. Additionally, it progressively reduces pain without the need for medication, improves mobility, and allows for a faster functional recovery. Its non-invasive nature and the absence of relevant side effects make it an effective and safe alternative for many patients.
How many sessions are needed and what results can be expected?
- Treatment duration: Generally, between 3 and 6 sessions are required, depending on the injury and its progression.
- Frequency: Sessions are usually performed on a weekly basis, allowing the body to adapt and respond adequately to the stimulus.
- Early results: In many cases, patients begin to notice relief starting from the second or third session.
- Pain improvement: The treatment helps reduce pain progressively, promoting comfort in the affected area.
Does it have side effects or contraindications?
Shockwave therapy is safe and well tolerated, but like any therapy, it may present some mild side effects and certain contraindications. Among the most common effects are redness, mild swelling, or tenderness in the treated area, which usually disappear within a few hours or days. Its application is not recommended for individuals with coagulation disorders, active infections in the area, pregnant women, or in the presence of prostheses or pacemakers close to the area to be treated.
