Regenerative Therapies For Pickleball Injuries
Shockwave works with stimulating the bodies own ability to heal. It uses acoustic sound waves to stimulate the tenocytes for tendons to heal and bring in blood flow to areas that don’t get a good blood supply. Many tendons take a long time to heal due to lack of blood flow so this helps with that and it stimulates the body’s own stem cells and growth factors needed for healing. Shockwave has an 82% success rate. If you have been stuck and feeling like your tendon injury or issue is slowing you down schedule a free Regen consult with us.
