Physical Effects of Hydrowave Therapy

Hydrowave uses shockwave technology to create mechanical pressure waves that penetrate deep into the tissues. This physical force stimulates blood flow and breaks down scar tissue while moving lymphatic fluid throughout the body. The therapy reduces swelling and inflammation, increases circulation, and enhances mobility of affected areas. By relaxing tight muscles and improving tissue elasticity, Hydrowave promotes faster recovery and improves overall function in the treated regions.

Chemical Effects of Hydrowave Therapy

Hydrowave triggers a biomechanical, biochemical cascade that helps healing and tissue regeneration. The therapy increases production of collagen, a key protein that supports the structure of skin, muscles, and ligaments. It also boosts the release of growth factors that encourage cellular repair and stimulates the production of new, healthy tissue. Additionally, Hydrowave reduces inflammatory markers in the treated area, which supports healing and minimizes pain and discomfort throughout the recovery process.

Biological Effects of Hydrowave Therapy

‍Hydrowave's tissue regenerative shockwave therapy activates a biological healing response at the cellular level. It enhances the activity of fibroblasts and osteoblasts for repair and regeneration of connective tissues and bone, which leads to faster tissue repair, reduced fibrosis (scar tissue formation), and improved joint mobility. The therapy also releases endorphins, the body's natural painkillers, providing immediate pain relief and long-term improvements in function. This comprehensive approach supports the body's innate ability to heal itself more effectively and efficiently

Hydrowave Magnetohydraulic Shockwave Therapy – is Not "Radial Shockwave"

Shockwave therapies are NOT all the same! I've heard people say that they have tried shockwave years ago, or that it was painful. Radial shockwave can be painful over bony prominences, needs many sessions, and has limited results. Hydrowave is radically different! There are many types of shockwave therapy, including electrohydraulic, electromagnetic (Hydrowave), piezoelectric, and radial shockwave. Radial shockwave uses a small wand and can be painful with mechanical impact, and it is not diagnostic. Radial shockwaves generate a radial pressure wave that is low energy and density with shallow penetration. In contrast, focused shockwaves like Hydrowave are higher energy and penetrate deeper into tissues. Each type of shockwave therapy has a different purpose and produces different results.

Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT)

‍Hydrowave therapy generates a true, scaled acoustic shockwave for both low and high intensity that penetrates deeper and wider into tissues. This sudden pressure wave and subsequent drop has many benefits, including pain relief with often immediate changes visible between pre and post treatment. The therapy increases mobility and range of motion while promoting angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels. It stimulates tissue repair mechanisms and facilitates cellular regeneration and repair while activating stem cells.

Hydrowave supports soft tissue healing, reduces inflammation, and restores tissue elasticity. By activating growth factors and regenerating tissue, the therapy promotes faster recovery and helps patients return to optimal function more quickly.

Hydrowave is a type of Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) that has a wide range of applications in health care:
