Shockwave

Radial Pressure Wave therapy delivers pneumatic-generated acoustic waves that spread radially over a broader area. These systems are commonly used to help treat various musculoskeletal conditions such as myofascial trigger points and tendinopathies.

What Is Shockwave?

Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses acoustic waves to relieve pain and promote healing in soft tissues, ligaments, and tendons. It stimulates an increase in blood flow & growth hormones, promotes new tissue growth, breaks down tissue, and degrades nerve bundles, which allows for pain modulation. It has many different opportunities to help with tendinopathy, hip impingement, kidney stones, plantar fasciitis, achilles tendinopathy, foot, knee, leg, elbow, and shoulder pains. It's also known as extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) or radial shockwave therapy (RSWT).

Conditions Treated by Shockwave

Shockwave can play an important role in both acute injury treatment and chronic pain management.

Shockwave is used to treat conditions such as:

• Heel Pain

• Achilles Tendinopathy

• Lateral Epicondylitis (Tennis Elbow)

• Plantar fasciitis

• Rotator Cuff Calcific Tendinitis

• Myofascial Trigger Points
