The Many Causes of Joint Pain
Joints are more than just places where the bone ends connect. While they vary considerably in complexity and range of motion even a relatively simple joint may contain multiple components such as:
- Cartilage and synovial fluid to reduce friction in the joint
- Muscles to move the joint
- Tendons, which attach muscles to joints so they can manipulate them
- Ligaments, tough connective tissues that help hold joints together
As you can imagine, these multiple components are vulnerable to multiple -- and painful -- problems. An accident injury, for example, can twist a joint, strain and/or sprain its soft tissues to cause acute pain. These tissues may continue to give you ongoing joint pain, stiffness, and weakness if they fail to heal properly. Chronic joint pain may stem from damaged or insufficient cartilage (osteoarthritis), inflammatory joint disorders (rheumatoid arthritis), or other conditions that currently have no outright cure.
How Wave Therapy Helps Joints Feel Better
Whether you're recovering from an acute injury or you're struggling with a chronic joint condition, Wave Therapy can help you feel and function better. This therapy uses the power of acoustic pressure waves to influence your body's natural healing and pain-relief mechanisms. The acoustic energy increases the blood of blood throughout the entire body; this effect increases circulation, which in turn helps relieve pain and inflammation. It also has a direct effect on the mast cells that contribute to inflammation in chronic autoimmune disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis. If you're recovering from a joint injury, Wave Therapy can help you rehabilitate more rapidly. In addition to providing the tissues with more access to oxygen and nutrients by enhancing blood flow, this form of treatment can also stimulate the production of collagen, a substance essential for tissue repair.

Wave Therapy has some distinct advantages over other sound-based treatment methods.

By contrast, Wave Therapy requires no disrobing or special precautions -- in facts, it's as safe and easy as sitting comfortably in a room. up to 6 patients at a time surround the Wave Therapy device as it emits its low-frequency waves.There are no known side effects or contraindications -- only natural, drug-free joint pain relief that can be repeated as frequently as you like.
