We may recommend shockwave therapy for knee pain in Bend, OR, if you want to reduce your reliance on prescription medications and avoid knee surgery. Here is a look at what shockwave therapy is and why it is such a safe, effective alternative to surgery for knee pain.
What Is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy is a nonsurgical, non-invasive treatment option for conditions that cause knee pain, including arthritis, tendonitis, and repetitive stress or overuse injuries. During shockwave therapy, we will use a small device to deliver high-energy soundwaves to the injured areas of your knee. These sound waves stimulate natural biological processes in your body that promote healing, improve function, and relieve pain.
How Does Shockwave Therapy Relieve Knee Pain?
The shockwaves create a controlled microtrauma that triggers a healing response in your soft tissues, ligaments, tendons, and joints. Your body will send healing nutrients, hormones, and chemicals to the injured area and increase blood flow. This creates a localized inflammatory response that promotes cell regeneration and tissue growth, improves cell metabolism, over-stimulates nerves, and breaks down scar tissue and calcification.
Why Choose Shockwave Therapy Over Knee Surgery?
Unlike surgery, shockwave therapy does not require anesthesia, incisions, or any downtime or recovery time. Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive, conservative treatment option that is more effective than rest and pain medication and less dangerous than surgery. The biggest benefits of shockwave therapy for knee injury and knee pain are:
- No downtime or recovery period, so you can resume your normal activities right away
- No incisions or invasive procedures
- No risk of infection or further injury
- Significant and lasting pain relief and reduced reliance on pain medication
- Improved flexibility, range of motion, and mobility
- Accelerates healing and stimulates natural healing processes in the body
- Can be combined with other knee pain treatment options
