What is acoustic wave therapy?
Acoustic wave therapy uses low-intensity, pulsed extracorporeal shockwaves to heal damaged tissue. The energy waves stimulate injured tissue at a cellular level, which promotes a healing response.
As a result of treatment, your metabolism rises, growth factors are released, and circulation improves, meaning you achieve greater tissue strength and stimulation.
The team at Inland Wellness & Vitality uses acoustic wave therapy to treat problems with musculoskeletal and connective tissue. They also use it for aesthetic applications to reduce the appearance of cellulite and create a contoured physique.
The providers are trained and certified in Active Integrated Radial Pressure Wave Therapy™. This unique application of acoustic wave therapy has helped thousands of patients heal. Inland Wellness & Vitality is the only provider of this therapy in the Inland Northwest.
How does acoustic wave therapy work?
Acoustic wave therapy stimulates the production and activity of osteoblasts and fibroblasts. Osteoblasts are a type of cell responsible for bone healing and creating new bone tissue. Fibroblasts are cells that heal connective tissue such as ligaments and tendons.
The acoustic waves also release extremely contracted muscle cells present in tight trigger points, leading to the release and relaxation of associated muscles — and less pain.
The treatment is noninvasive and nonpharmaceutical. It also features no downtime and long-lasting results. You receive acoustic wave therapy in the offices of Inland Wellness & Vitality and can go back to work or daily tasks right afterward.
