Using Shockwave Therapy For Pain Recovery

We are going to discuss a very interesting non-invasive treatment for joint and muscle problems: Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave is interesting for 2 reasons:

1. Unlike the majority of other treatments we commonly use which are slow and offer temporary relief, shockwave therapy gives long term results through stimulating the body's natural healing potential, and works quickly.
2. Even though shockwave therapy is very established in Singapore for well over a decade, it is relatively unknown. Few patients have heard their doctors recommend it.

Shockwave, also known as Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy, is an internationally established method of treating pain and inflammation through stimulating tissue repair.

Employing high energy acoustic waves, shockwave induces new blood vessel growth and tissue regeneration.

Although recognized as one of the best treatment options available for pain relief and recovery, its use in Singapore has up till recently been limited.

One reason is that treatment with earlier generation shockwave machines were quite painful, usually requiring local anesthesia. Shockwave machines were also very costly medical devices, resulting in expensive treatments which many patients could not afford.

Fortunately, medical research in recent years has given us a new generation of shockwave machines which provide far more comfortable treatments, no longer requiring anesthetic injections.

They have also become much cheaper, dramatically bringing down treatment costs and making shockwave therapy more affordable to patients.

Conditions Treated with Shockwave include:

• Plantar fasciitis (foot pain)
• Achilles tendinopathy (heel pain)
• Hip pain
• Knee pain
• Lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow)
• Rotator cuff tendinitis (shoulder pain)
• Myofascial trigger points (body aches and muscle pain)
• Back pain
• Neck pain

Clinical studies have demonstrated extremely high success rates, even in cases which have failed to respond to conventional approaches.

What sets this treatment apart from traditional treatments is that it treats the musculoskeletal pathology instead of just offering symptomatic relief.

3 Important Ways To Make Sure You Are Getting The Correct Treatment

For many people with chronic pain, it is frustrating when the condition does not seem to get any better despite consulting a doctor.

When your condition does not seem to be getting better despite treatment, there are 3 questions we should ask:

1) Is My Diagnosis Correct?

Patients sometimes assume or are told that their condition is “age related” simply because of their advancing age. Younger patients sometimes have their conditions labelled as “muscle injury” without a clear basis.

While a good medical history and physical examination can usually allow doctors to reach a reasonably accurate clinical diagnosis, it is sometimes helpful to be more certain with imaging investigations such as an X-ray or MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging).

In Singapore, an X-ray and MRI should come with a report provided by a radiologist (specialist medical doctor).

It is useful to request for the report and compare what the radiologist objectively writes with what your healthcare provider tells you. This is especially useful when you are consulting alternative healthcare providers who may provide explanations that are less precise.

2) Is My Condition Being Treated With Temporary Pain Relief? And Is There A Proper Recovery Plan?
It is useful to appreciate that many treatments can make a person feel better temporarily.
These can help when someone is in acute pain or has a recent injury and needs short term relief.

Massages, painkillers, manual treatments, heat and cold therapy are common examples.

However a series of repetitive temporary treatments is not an actual recovery plan.
It is always good to clarify with your provider what the treatments can realistically achieve and not end up paying for expensive treatment packages that require excessive visits.

3) Have All My Options Been Discussed?

Some healthcare providers like to focus on only treatments they personally offer.
Depending on who you consult, this can limit the discussion to only surgery, exercise and medications.

Fortunately medical technology has made incredible progress in recent years and there are now many good treatment options for most patients.

Nutritional supplements, non-invasive shockwave therapy and radiofrequency are just some of the many new options now available to patients in Singapore.

What is Arthritis?

Arthritis literally means joint inflammation. The Greek word “arthro’ meaning joint and “itis” meaning inflammation have led to this word arthritis being coined.

Some symptoms that may suggest that you have arthritis are progressive stiffness and joint pain on weight bearing with gradual onset. Arthritis can differ in terms of severity from person to person depending on several factors such as lifestyle, weight and genetics, with the biggest one being age. It can affect multiple joints such as the wrists, fingers, knees and hips.

THE HISTORY OF TECAR THERAPY

Studies show that for over 100 years, therapeutic effects have enabled tissue reconstruction as well as pain reduction. The founder of this current is Jacques Arsène d’Arsonval, a famous doctor, but also a French physicist and inventor. In 1890, Arsonval discovered the benefits of the permeability of plasma membrane by increasing frequency to more than 100 KHz. In the 1920s, with other researchers and doctors, he developed the first capacitive and resistive electrodes. A work by William Beaumont in 1939 dealt extensively with these modes of applications CAPACITIVE (CET) and RESISTIVE (RET). Read full history

What is cryotherapy?

Cryotherapy or ice therapy is the application of cold to the body tissues after injury. This practice is as old as medicine itself. Nowadays, local cold application may be applied by the use of various forms of ice or frozen gel packs, or by evaporation of volatile fluids from the skin. Often skin temperature is reduced to 10 C°.  Read full answer

What is osteoarthritis?

It is well known that erosion during Osteoarthritis can’t be reversed easily and satisfactorily. Normally this situation is treated as incurable. Doctors, usually suggest to take measures to avoid further worsening of the condition and try to accept the situation. In case of unbearable pain, painkillers are the first advice to patients. These, painkillers or lotions need to be applied over and around the joints.

Shock wave therapy Treatment Possibilities and Opportunities

Shock wave Therapy is used to treat a growing number of tendon, joint and muscle conditions.
Shockwave is an acoustic wave which carries high energy to painful spots and myoskeletal tissues with subacute, subchronic and chronic conditions. The energy promotes regeneration and reparative processes of the bones, tendons and other soft tissues.

Basically doctor will locate the area of pain through palpation. This area will then be marked and some ultrasound gel applied. The shock wave impulses are delivered using a hand-piece. It takes about five minutes to deliver a single treatment. This is generally said to be uncomfortable (rather than painful) and is well tolerated by the vast majority of patients. This process is repeated a total of three times — with a week between treatments. Some patients note an immediate improvement in their pain, however the best results occur 12 weeks after the initial treatment.

Why Is It So Hard To Treat Neck, Back and Knee Pain?

Pain is a very common symptom when there is injury or disease in the body.
At some point in life, almost every person suffers from neck, back, knee or other joint pain.

While a majority of such problems disappear after a few days due to the human body's natural ability to heal itself, a small unfortunate group of patients do not get better.
They not only continue to feel pain, stiffness, and weakness, but often get worse with time, despite seeing different doctors, traditional physicians, and trying alternative treatments.

Using a thorough medical history and clinical examination, aided by selective X-rays, MRIs or blood investigations, we break down a patient's condition to a combination of root causes such as::

1. Focused Joint Injury
2. Persistent Inflammation
3. Fibrotic Tissue
4. Neuropathic (Nerve related) Pain
5. Central Sensitization (brain related pain)
6. Tissue Degeneration / Age related "wear and tear"
7. Muscular Imbalance

3 Key Targets of Treatment of Difficult Pain

The Pain Relief Clinic uses a comprehensive biomedical approach to help patients with their conditions.

We take into account each patient's specific underlying medical condition and select the most appropriate combination of available medical technologies.

1) Healing Damaged Tissue

As pain is often the result of soft tissue damage, it is often necessary to boost the body's ability to heal for long term results. Possible ways to achieve this include:

• Collagen Hydrolysate is produced through the enzymatic hydrolysis of collagenous tissue and contains amino acids such as glycine and proline. When taken as an oral supplement, collagen hydrolysate has been shown to be absorbed, accumulate in joint cartilage, and stimulates the activity of chondrocytes. [Evidence]

• Shockwave Therapy is an internationally established method of treating pain and inflammation through stimulating tissue repair. Employing high energy acoustic waves, shockwave induces new blood vessel growth and tissue regeneration, thereby treating many pain conditions.[Evidence]

2) Reducing Inflammation

Inflammatory damage is one of the main mechanisms of pain and reducing inflammation is a good way to help patients quickly reduce pain and discomfort. Possible ways to achieve this include:

• Nutritional Supplementation with herbal anti-oxidants have been shown to improve joint health naturally and safely. [Evidence]

• Radiofrequency is an externally applied, non-invasive treatment. It uses patented long wave radio frequencies to create intense tissue stimulation. [Evidence]

• Nanotechnology Gels are made up of millions of phospholipids, which travel through the skin and tissue upon application, the gel then coats the joint with a layer of protective lubricant, reducing frictional damage. [Evidence]

3) Relieving Mechanical and Nerve Pressure

Ongoing physical injury and mechanical pressure on the nerves is a very significant cause of persistent pain, numbness and weakness. Possible treatment options include:

• Spinal Decompression Therapy is an FDA cleared, non-surgical treatment that has an amazingly high success rate for neck and back pain. It is designed to unload the spinal disc to provide very effective relief of pain and numbness in the back, neck, legs, and arms. [Evidence]
• Joint Mobilization involves careful use of skilled graded forces to move a joint in a desired direction. This form of physical therapy is usually used to improve joint motion and normalize function by improving joint nutrient supply. It also help to control pain and relieve muscle tension. [Evidence]
