Shockwave Therapy Orillia

Shockwave Therapy by Miller Health in Orillia

Shockwave Therapy or Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that sends acoustic waves directly to the target tissue, which causes a controlled inflammatory response. This stimulates a healing process to occur in the tissues, resulting in improved metabolism, increase in blood flow to the area and the formation of new blood vessels. This causes the previously degenerated tissue to regenerate, which results in a decrease in pain and improvement in function.

At Miller Health we use the Storz Medical Master Puls MP200 Elite Edition. In most cases, 3-5 sessions are required. Sessions are to be spaced 7-10 days apart to allow sufficient healing to occur. The treatment lasts between 5-10 minutes. Many patients feel an improvement of symptoms after the first treatment, however, the healing process continues for the following 3 months.
