Some pain heals. Some pain stays. If you have tried the rest, the stretches, and the appointments and you are still hurting, this episode is worth your time.
Uran Berisha sits down with Dr. Wolfgang Schaden, one of the doctors whose work helped shape shockwave therapy into what it is today. When he first heard about it, he thought it made no sense. He set out to prove it would fail. Then he watched people heal who had been told there was nothing more to do, and it changed how he understood the body.
What he learned came down to something simple. Tissue that stops healing is usually tissue that has lost its blood supply. Shockwave sends focused sound waves deep into that tissue and signals the body to bring circulation back, so it can do the repair work it already knows how to do. No needle, no incision.
In this conversation he explains why he now believes healing deserves as much attention as any procedure, how this approach compares to other regenerative options, and what may be possible for people who feel out of options.
Results vary from person to person, and any decision about your care is one to make with your clinician.
