Shockwave Therapy
Advanced Non-Surgical Healing for the Minneapolis West-Metro
Shockwave therapy, also known as Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT), is a revolutionary non-invasive treatment that uses acoustic pressure waves to promote natural healing and tissue regeneration. The Brost Clinic is proud to offer this cutting-edge therapy to patients throughout the Minneapolis west-metro area and Wayzata.
How Shockwave Therapy Works
Shockwave therapy harnesses the power of acoustic waves to stimulate your body’s natural healing mechanisms through mechanotransduction. The treatment promotes:
- Enhanced blood flow to injured tissues, especially beneficial for tendons with poor blood supply
- Growth factor release that accelerates tissue repair and regeneration
- Cellular regeneration through stimulated cell proliferation and differentiation
- Pain relief via nerve stimulation and natural pain gate mechanisms
