Focused Shockwave Therapy: Science meets vibrational medicine.
This is the starting point for a New Therapy that will soon be available at Radiant Acupuncture / Gissel Holistic Health in Fremont!
Focused ShockWave therapy represents the direct physical manifestation of what I have been studying and practicing in the frequency and subtle vibrational activation forms such as TBM, and Unwinding Meridians (UMAC) for many years.
FSW takes the mechanical science that can be “seen”, tested, and evaluated and blends the use of energy, frequency, and acoustic wave activation from the more energetic medicine approaches and presents it to the mainstream patient as a fully repeatable and reliable therapy,
If you have not heard of this therapy before it was first utilized for many years by Urologist to break up Kidney Stones. Now it has been greatly refined and is seen as one of the key approaches to Regenerative Therapies. Where addressing soft tissue injury, joint injuries, scar tissue, bone injuries, and many long standing reoccurring pain issues can be addressed.
Historically, FSW and RPW were referred to as extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT). However, only FSW (Focused) generates a true shockwave, which has different physical properties than the waveform of a radial pressure wave. (Mayo Clinic website)
Focused Shockwave Therapy is utilized for regenerative injury recovery is defined and classified by the Mayo Clinic in two forms: “Focused shockwave (FSW) and Radial Pressure wave (RPW) therapies. These involve the transcutaneous application of acoustic waves, which leads to mechanotransduction at the cellular level. These changes can then stimulate cell proliferation, migration, alteration in pain pathways, increased neovascularization and osteoprogenitor differentiation.”
"It's thought that the transmission of acoustic waves leads to cellular mechanotransduction, causing a cellular shift that leads to secondary cell signaling, promoting cellular migration and proliferation. It can also cause increased vascularity and act on pain pathways to reduce pain via increasing local pain-inhibiting substances and nociceptor hyperstimulation," says Dr. Romero from the Mayo Clinic website
"In general, we're seeing an increasing use of shockwave treatment," explains Dr. Romero. "It's a safe and effective treatment. It's a noninvasive alternative to injections as well as surgery. There's an expanding clinical evidence base supporting its use. And, quite frankly, a lot of patients are preferring noninvasive treatments and asking about it."

Sorry, lots of big words. I believe some background in this case is very important so bare with me here.
