Shockwave

Technically called radial shockwave therapy (RSWT), this technique uses short, powerful bursts of sound to provide pain relief to muscles, joints, and the adhesions (scars) from injuries.

95% of people only need 3-4 treatment sessions. A typical session is about 15 minutes.

There are some places where this therapy should not be used, for example, vascular disease in the feet or ruptured plantar fasciitis ligaments.

People who are taking blood thinners and other medicines that interfere with blood clotting shouldn’t use them. Also, metal pins and plates don’t respond well to this therapy.

• Effective for treating tendinitis, scar tissue, frozen shoulder

• Resets muscle activation and intestinal treatments.

Shockwave Therapy in More Detail

Radial Shockwave Therapy has amazing healing effects without ever opening skin or risk infection.

Similar to the way that lifting weights causes micro-traumas that the body then repairs, the shockwaves stimulate growth of new blood vessels (angiogenesis) and new nerve cells (neurogenesis). In truth, no one is really 100% sure how it works, but the results have been well-documented in many double blind, peer-reviewed studies.

This type of therapy has proven to reduce pain significantly, without the use of drugs or surgery.
