Regenerative Medicine Step 3:  StemWave and SoftWave ESWT (Part 2 of 2)

Regenerative Medicine Step 3: StemWave and SoftWave ESWT (Part 2 of 2)

Cliff Notes for Both ESWT Blogs before we go forward:
1.  StemWave and SoftWave offer electrohydraulic ESWT that is proven to be beneficial for a multitude of conditions
2.  The science behind Electrohydraulic Shockwave Therapy is fascinating and has significant advantages over other forms of acoustic and pressure wave therapies
3.  StemWave and SoftWave regenerate tissues like nothing ever demonstrated before
4.  StemWave and SoftWave are unique and worth a try before more invasive intervention (ex. surgery)

**Please note that you do NOT need to be an active patient to benefit from StemWave and Softwave.  You can simply make an appointment.  This also applies to Hbot and NormaTec.

As we learned from Part 1, electrohydraulic shockwave therapy is an amazing technology.  Although no one treatment intervention can fix every problem, StemWave and SoftWave most certainly addresses conditions that no other intervention can help.  The excitement over shockwave therapy is palpable.  It’s real.  The research pool continues to grow and more and more treatment applications are being discovered as time goes on.

Integrative medical doctors and manual medicine doctors should move into ways to help patients regenerate muscles, ligaments, cartilage, and nerves.  It’s THAT important.  It’s also important to be aware of what the international shockwave community is saying about extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT).  Is this all a farce or is it legitimate?

Regenerative Medicine Step 3: StemWave and SoftWave (Part 1 of 2)

Regenerative Medicine Step 3: StemWave and SoftWave (Part 1 of 2)

This is a two part blog and in the first part, we’ll discuss how true shockwave therapy works.  The second blog will discuss what we use it for and why true shockwave therapy is known to recruit stem cells to facilitate healing.  The first blog will be more technical than the second.

Please note that you do NOT need to be a patient to benefit from the StemWave or SoftWave.  You can simply make an appointment for shockwave therapy.  This also applies to Hbot and NormaTec.

In our previous two blogs, we discussed how hyperbaric oxygen therapy (Hbot) and NormaTec help with recovery and healing.  The evidence that Hbot can elongate telomeres, leading to greater cell function and a true anti-aging effect, is nothing less than amazing.  These above two referenced interventions constitute the first two prongs regarding how we go about tissue regeneration.  Now it’s time to introduce the third prong of this approach.

Before we proceed, we don’t want to anyone to misunderstand.  Healing and recovery are a very important focus for us at Columbia Advanced Chiropractic, LLC.  Dr. Manison has spent over 2 decades learning and applying the best techniques in the field of manual medicine and rehabilitation.  He does so in order to best help his patients obtain the greatest likelihood of recovery from a plethora of neuromusculoskeletal conditions.  However, aiding with recovery and healing are different from actual tissue regeneration, and this is the future of medicine.

Regenerative Medicine Step 2:  NormaTec

Regenerative Medicine Step 2: NormaTec

Please note that you do NOT need to be a patient to benefit from NormaTec.  You can simply call and set up an appointment to experience the benefits of NormaTec.  This also applies to Hbot and SoftWave.

NormaTec has been used to aid athletes recovery from training, injury, and surgery for over 10 years.  This amazing tool uses pressure to pump both lymph and blood supply.  By doing so, you increase blood flow and the nutrients it carries (especially oxygen) through not only the specific area of treatment but also through the whole body and this allows for an increased rate of healing.

At Columbia Advanced Chiropractic, LLC, we utilize the NormaTec 2.0 Pro.  This version is their top offering and it allows for specific programming to isolate areas that need the increased circulation the most.  We use NormaTec as our second step in our 3-pronged approach to tissue regeneration.  Why is it used second?  First, we hyper-oxygenate the blood with hyperbaric oxygen therapy (Hbot), then we use the NormaTec to hyper-vascularize the area of need.  Third, we use the unique SoftWave unfocused extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) unit to stimulate stem cells to regenerate damaged tissue.  The three-pronged approach is a potent combination of therapies aimed at helping you recover, and heal, in dramatic fashion.  NormaTec will deliver fantastic recovery results when used individually from Hbot and SoftWave, but pairing it with these other therapies will provide for the best means of true tissue regeneration.
