The healing process is increased by creating a stimulus or irritation to the tissue. The shock waves irritation create new vessel blood formation or neovascularization to the damaged area. This influences an increase in blood circulation and metabolism, where damaged tissue will regenerate and heal. What Are The Expected Results? The benefit is normally experienced after usually only 3 treatments over the span of 2 weeks. It is common to have immediate relief after the treatment, however it can also take up to 4 weeks for pain relief to begin and between 9 to 12 weeks to see complete results.
