​Dispersion of Pain Mediator “Substance P”

Substance P is a neurotransmitter that mediates pain information through C-fibers. This neuropeptide is generally associated with intense, persistent and chronic pain. It relays pain messages to the central nervous system.

Lowering the concentration of Substance P reduces the stimulation of afferent nociceptive fibers and thus reduces the pain.
Decreasing Substance P, histamines and other nociceptive metabolites also helps inhibit development of inflammatory oedema.

​Acoustic waves generated by Shockwave therapy lower the Substance P concentration and trigger pain relief. ​
