Millions of people experience some form of pain every day of their life. In fact, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate that more than 50 million U.S. adults live with either chronic pain or high-impact chronic pain. No one should have to face this challenge alone and that’s where Accelerated Recovery and Performance (ARP) Wave Therapy comes in.

Constant discomfort transforms even the most ordinary daily activities into monumental challenges, greatly affecting the sufferer both physically and mentally. A drug-free holistic treatment, ARP wave therapy ensures patients heal naturally, reducing pain and accelerating recovery time. 

ARP Wave therapy utilizes innovative ARP Wave technology, which is based on the extensive research of Dr. Björn Nordenström. His research demonstrates evidence that there is a negative electrical charge formed in injured or damaged tissue. If this charge isn’t eliminated, scar tissue will attach to the muscle, leading to restricted motion and permanent pain. 

Nordenström’s evidence goes on to state that, to completely heal, the charge must be removed. The tool associated with the therapeutic technique, therefore, carries a direct electrical current and a patented bio-electrical current to the injured site to stop the charge, prevent the formation of scar tissue, and reduce inflammation.  

The technology is used while the patient completes a number of rehabilitative exercises. Combining technology with movement increases the therapy’s effectiveness, enabling higher levels of intensity and deeper penetration. 

What Are the Benefits of ARP Wave Therapy? 

ARP Wave technology reeducates the muscles, eliminating compensation patterns and relaxing muscle spasms. It also has the potential to:

• Reduce Pain
• Build Muscle Strength
• Boost Ability of Muscle to Absorb Force
• Enhance Range of Motion
• Prevent Disuse Atrophy
• Increase Blood Circulation

What to Expect During & After Treatment

When you attend an ARP Wave Therapy session, the technology will not only treat the pain, but will also determine its source. Pads will be placed on various areas of the body to deliver the current. As the pads are moved around, you’ll feel mild sensations in areas without electrical currents and a more intense feeling in parts of your body with built-up negative currents. 

A drug-free holistic treatment, ARP wave therapy ensures patients heal naturally, reducing pain and accelerating recovery time.

Once the tool locates the areas high in charge, electrical stimulation pads are applied. Then, the patient is given several exercises to follow. When exercising normally, your muscles contract at a rate of two times per second, but with the ARP Wave device, your muscles can contract up to 500 times per second. This trains your brain and nervous system to correct movement patterns and muscle integration, reeducating your body to properly absorb force. 

These actions are repeated on all areas in need of healing. The discomfort should subside as the session continues. 

What Can ARP Wave Therapy Treat?

There are many reasons to undergo this therapy. If you’ve been told you need joint replacement surgery or spinal fusion surgery, you can try this treatment to help relieve some pain and discomfort. Other patients who should receive this therapy include those who have a limited range of motion and have had surgery, but can’t go back to an active lifestyle without pain. Athletes often utilize ARP Wave Therapy to help the body recover from injury.

ARP Wave Therapy can treat a variety of chronic pain conditions including:

• Acute and Chronic Pain
• Arthritis
• Back Pain
• Hip or Knee Pain
• ACL and MCL Tears
• Fibromyalgia
• Sciatica
• Headaches
• Injuries

ARP Wave Therapy vs. Other Methods

With ARP Wave Therapy, there’s no surgery or medication involved and there’s the possibility you can eliminate the need for surgery completely. That means you may not have to go under anesthesia or spend days in the hospital. The technology gets to the source of the injury to help you achieve faster results than traditional therapies.
