This technology is known to decrease pain and promote healing of soft tissue injuries by boosting circulation. Additionally, shockwave therapy may reduce chronic pain by overstimulating nerve endings, creating a decrease in pain sensitivity. In order for this treatment to be effective, high-energy waves or pulses need to be targeted to the affected tissue.

Once the sterile filament needle reaches the targeted tissue, it can break up shortened tissues, inhibit a reflex arc from the nervous system to the tissue, normalize the inflammatory response, and centrally mediate the pain.

Additionally, a smaller percent of the population may experience achiness directly following the treatment lasting 1-2 days. The soreness or achiness can be decreased with heat, light manual therapy, or low level exercise. It is not uncommon to experience mild bruising at the site, which is not a harmful response. In order to reduce the severity of the bruising, a patient may apply ice.<\/p><p><u>Conditions treated:<\/u>\u00a0Dry needling techniques can be incorporated as part of a treatment plan to improve a host of injuries including: cervical pain, headaches\/migraines, shoulder pain, thoracic outlet syndrome, carpal tunnel, golfers elbow and tennis elbow, tendinopathy, low back pain, hamstring\/calf strains, knee pain, sciatica, piriformis syndrome and a host of other conditions.<\/p><p><strong>Normatec Boots:<\/strong>\u00a0Our lower body compression boots are a modality we use post session or part of our recovery package to jump start the recovery process.

There is no upper limit to how much kinetic energy you can generate with flywheel training. This means that you can always use a higher force and accelerate the flywheel more. Resistance is variable such that if you pull less, the flywheel will resist less. Additionally, a built-in KMeter II provides real time feedback and in-depth analytics including power\/force metrics (eccentric and concentric peak power, average force, and average power), range of motion, speed (m\/s), and energy generated (kJ).<\/p><p><strong>Shuttle MVP:<\/strong>\u00a0The Shuttle MVP is a three-in-one machine; used as a leg-press, plyometric jumping, and general rehabilitation.
