CHICO, Calif. – A Chico wellness clinic is introducing an innovative method to tackle joint and muscle pain without resorting to surgery. Dr. Shane Smiths shows us how they’re using soundwaves to heal damaged tissue at TrueU Wellness.”It’s percussive so it uses soundwaves to get the job done,” said Dr. Shane Smith, a chiropractor at TrueU Wellness.The technique targets various conditions, including adhesions, scars, and even old injuries like ACL tears. It also addresses issues like sciatica and carpal tunnel, and a condition called TCOS, where nerve bunching in the neck causes numbness in the arm.”Supple healthy, enriched tissue can tolerate the waves coming through – scar tissue is dense and thick and it literally breaks,” Smith said.Once the scar tissue is broken, the body’s natural healing process kicks in.”Your body is hard-wired, it says we have all this broken tissue, let’s send in our immune system cells, they clean it up like little Pac-Mans and they remove all the waste, so almost immediately people notice an improvement in their range of motion,” Smith said.Over time, the body generates more blood vessels, leading to increased blood flow and permanent improvements. And if you’re wondering, does the treatment hurt?”It can be a little uncomfortable but it is scalable, I can raise or lower the intensity based on patient comfort level,” Smith said.The number of sessions required varies, typically ranging from 3 to 12, depending on the area being treated.
