Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy also known as ESWT seems to have become the latest therapy fad with it’s proponents recommending it’s use for nearly anything you can think of regarding musculoskeletal disorders (MSK).

Originally developed to dissolve kidney stones using this destructive method, the procedure involves shockwaves, or sound waves, being directed from outside the body at the target to effectively destroy it.

Unlike many conservative treatments for musculoskeletal disorders like the Bio-Mechanical Stimulation (BMS) Matrix Therapy, Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy can often produce negative side effects. The procedure can be painful, and can cause pain immediately following the procedure, whereby BMS Matrix Therapy is pain free, proven to be effective & side effect free and pleasant & relaxing to receive.

Other side effects from ESWT include minor skin bruising, reddening, and swelling or inflammation around the treated area. Many of these side effects often go away after a short period of time, but determining what exactly has happened under your skin is not so easy to understand, however, like surgical options, the ESWT treatment still has potential side effects that the patient should be aware of before undertaking this procedure.

Understanding the mechanisms of the extracellular matrix (ECM) from all the research conducted around BMS matrix therapy we can clearly see that the proponents of ESWT are effectively using a very large and expensive sledgehammer to try and crack the proverbial nut!

Since the 19^th century, physicians around the world have used different forms of vibration or muscle stimulation.  In recent years, rehabilitation programmes and various physiotherapists have begun to realize – and focus on – the biological value of physiological processes which take place within an organism.

Diverse levels of energy, electricity, charge, pressure and traction forces regulate the preferential absorption, amplification, modulation, transformation, and transmission of different frequencies.

This fundamentally important additional bodily mechanism has been scientifically proven to occur at the very smallest cellular level and is provided by microscopically small rhythmical vibrations generated from within the musculoskeletal system, which propagate throughout virtually all living tissues and cells within the body.

These rhythmical micro-vibrations generate a localised “pressure & suction” effect within the region immediately surrounding the cells “the extracellular matrix space” assisting the transport of all substances to and from the cells and thereby playing the essential role in the logistics and regulation of the body at this very important cellular level.

This important vibratory action within the body’s musculoskeletal system is thereby a critical precondition for sufficient oxygen and micronutrients to reach all of the body’s living cells.

Working with the body’s own system the Biomechanical stimulation of Matrix Therapy goes beyond the traditional sense of micro-vibrations that are produced by skeletal muscles and transmitted to the surrounding tissue by introducing an external influence via the rhythmical oscillations of the device resonator.

Extrazell BMS Matrix Therapy is a non invasive, 100% natural, pain free and safe externally applied therapy which reactivates and repairs these cells and their environment — i.e. the extracellular matrix — using the specially developed Extrazell BMS therapy device.

The act of applying these specifically tuned natural vibrations to the body creates an asymmetrical pressure wave effect within these treated tissues, which induces and promotes the naturally occurring “pressure & suction” effect whilst consequently and beneficently stimulating the nerve receptors.

The BMS Matrix Therapy assists the body to repair and heal itself by gently introducing the body’s own natural rhythms back into the tissues and cells, whereby in comparison, ESWT is in effect using the jackhammer to pound the tissues, nerves and cells into submission causing damage and destruction with the intention of healing.

We would always recommend that you try BMS Matrix Therapy before even contemplating ESWT, it’s cheaper, proven to be effective, side effect free, long lasting, 100% natural and pleasant to receive.
