Jeff Langmaid explains how shockwave therapy speeds chronic pain recovery, especially in metabolically healthy patients. The treatment improves blood flow, triggers stem cell growth, and increases collagen deposition. It offers faster results than injections or surgery with minimal downtime.
Most people in the realm of chronic pain, if they're more metabolically healthy, they're going to respond faster regardless of the therapy. And so what makes a great therapy versus a not great therapy is kind of pace it selection as well. The reason that we love Shockwave for some chronic issues is because of the regenerative properties that come with it. So we get blood flow improvement, we get a lot of great hormonal infusions, we get more collagen lay down, we get more fibrinogen lay down. We get proliferation of stem cells. We get all kinds of great things that can help move people from not healing to healing in such an easy way to implement that it's not too toxic to the system or there's not too much downtime. And it can be a great alternative to some of these injections or exploratory surgeries.
