Acoustic Wave Therapy Sarasota, FL
Acoustic Wave Therapy (AWT) also known as Shockwave Therapy (SWT) is the therapeutic application of pressure waves generated acoustically. At Sarasota Sports Medicine, our acoustic wave therapy in Sarasota, FL applies a focused shock wave to specific injured tissues of the body. Depending on the injury, the doctor will apply the therapy to muscles, tendons, ligaments and even bone. The effects of the treatment is an actual breakdown of adhesions (scar tissue) between muscle, tendon and ligament fibers. Bone spurs or calcific deposits in tendons, ligaments and even blood vessels begin to break apart and dissolve.
This controlled tissue destruction leads to the second phase, which is a focused healing response as the body then begins to repair the treated area. Combined with other therapies such as laser therapy, the treated area creates the formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis) which improves the circulation to the treated tissue. This leads to the third effect which is reduction of pain and improved range of motion.

How Acoustic Wave Therapy Works
Breakdown of Scar Tissue and Calcifications: The therapy targets and disrupts adhesions (scar tissue) between muscle, tendon, and ligament fibers. It also helps dissolve bone spurs and calcific deposits in soft tissues and blood vessels.
Stimulated Healing Response: This controlled microtrauma triggers the body's natural healing mechanisms, leading to tissue regeneration and repair.
Improved Blood Circulation: AWT promotes the formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis), enhancing blood flow to the treated areas, which accelerates healing and reduces inflammation.
