The Premier Non-Surgical Solution for Chronic Pain
What Is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy is an acoustic wave treatment that delivers high energy to painful areas and musculoskeletal tissues affected by subacute, subchronic, and chronic conditions. This energy promotes the regeneration and repair of bones, tendons, and other soft tissues.
Shockwaves are characterized by a sudden change in pressure, high amplitude, and non-periodicity.
High-energy acoustic waves used in shockwave therapy interact with the tissue, producing medical effects such as accelerated tissue repair and cell growth, pain relief, and improved mobility. These processes typically occur simultaneously and are used to treat chronic, subacute, and, in some cases, acute conditions (for advanced users only).
What Conditions Can Shockwave Therapy Help With?
- Plantar Fasciitis
- Peripheral Neuropathy / Nerve Pain
- Tennis Elbow / Golfer’s Elbow
- Frozen Shoulder
- Tendonitis
- Chronic Joint Pain (knee, wrist, ankle, etc.)
- Bursitis
Frequently Asked Questions
Will Shockwave Therapy help me?
Shockwave therapy is a gentle, non-surgical solution for many chronic musculoskeletal issues. It has been shown to help up to 80% of chronic muscle and joint pain cases where other therapies have not been effective.
How does it work?
Acoustic waves created by the device penetrate deep into the muscles, tendons, and joints to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. The waves also break down calcium deposits in blood vessels, improving blood flow and microcirculation in the treated areas.
Does the therapy hurt?
There may be a slight feeling of discomfort during the treatment, depending on the level of pain the patient is already experiencing in the area. However, since the treatment lasts only about five minutes, most patients are able to tolerate it. Additionally, the intensity of the treatment can be adjusted throughout the session.
How soon will I see results?
Most patients notice improvement within the first two or three treatments, with some experiencing relief as early as the first session.
How often do I need to be treated?
Depending on the tissue being treated, subsequent treatments are performed every 3 to 10 days.
Is there any pain after treatment?
Most patients experience immediate pain relief following treatment. However, within 2 to 4 hours, some may feel soreness in the treated area. This soreness is typically mild and not limiting.
