Project Walk Atlanta and Tissue Regeneration Technologies (TRT) Announce the Efficacy of the DermaGold Shockwave Study on Spinal Cord Injured Clients

    ATLANTA, GA, December 17, 2014 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Project Walk Atlanta and Tissue Regeneration Technologies(TRT), are proud to announce the results of the six month Shock wave therapy study on clients living with spinal cord injuries. The efficacy of the study proved positive results with clients ranging from C3-T10.

Shock waves are defined as types of acoustic pressure waves that develop during sudden releases of energy. The best-known natural phenomenon is thunder following lightning. Another example is the "bang" an aircraft produces when it breaks the sound barrier. Both focused shock waves and unfocused sound waves are produced in these examples. Additionally, almost all other forms of energy are released during these natural discharges, including electrical, heat, light, and electromagnetic energy. Since the first medical application of acoustic waves was the disintegration of kidney stones in the early 1980's, high energy, focused shock waves were the first to be studied and understood.

Tissue Regeneration Technologies (TRT) has proven that its patented SoftWave technology has a strong regenerative effect on tissue including skin, bones, nerves, and heart. This response includes increased blood supply through angiogenesis, inflammatory modulation, and stem cell migration and activation. The scientific evidence has been documented, verified, and published in leading journals proving that Softwave technology triggers stem cell migration from bone marrow to the treated area.

Shockwaves are also being used to treat pressure ulcers on subjects with spinal cord injuries. Most of these ulcers have been previously treated for months with other technologies and have not seen improvement. Most ulcers treated with the shock waves have shown immediate improvement and most have healed completely improving the quality of life of these individuals.
