What are treatment options for chronic muscular skeletal pain?  Current treatment for muscular skeletal conditions includes physical therapy , NSAIDS (acetaminophen), and more invasive procedures, including surgery and corticosteroid injections. More current and progressive healthcare practitioners now advise adding shockwave therapy to the list of treatment options.

Shockwave therapy, also known as extra corporal Shockwave therapy is a form of musculoskeletal pain treatment that uses acoustic waves, (or shock waves) to stimulate a healing response in soft tissue.

What are the specific benefits of shock wave therapy as it relates to chronic pain

• promotes tissue healing - Shockwave therapy stimulates metabolic (or healing activity) in the damage tissue much the way exercise stimulates muscle growth and recovery . The metabolic stimulation helps accelerate tissue repair in structures like tendons,  ligaments,  fascia and muscle.
• Breaks the pain cycle - Shockwave treatment can stimulate a reduction in pain by affecting certain chemical pain mediators in the body (such as substance-P, bradykinin, and histamines). This in turn reduces the pain perceived by the body by interrupting chronic pain cycles.
• reduce fibrosis or adhesions in the soft tissue. This in turn leads to improve mobility and reduced pain in chronically injured tissue.
• reduce the Need and Risk of  invasive treatment options like steroids and surgery for patients looking for a non-invasive treatment option.

While there exists no perfect treatment option for chronic musculoskeletal pain, Most healthcare practitioners now advise consider, considering  non-invasive and non-surgical means of pain management and regeneration first. Physical therapy and include shockwave therapy  are your first line option.
