SHOCKWAVE THERAPY
WILL SHOCKWAVE THERAPY HELP ME?
Shockwave therapy is a gentle non-surgical solution for many chronic Musculoskeletal issues. Shockwave therapy has shown to help up to 80% of chronic muscle and joint pain that other therapies have not.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Acoustic waves created by the device penetrate deep into the muscle, tendons and joints to stimulate the body's natural healing factors. The waves will also break down calcium deposits in the blood vessels improving blood flow and micro-circulation to the areas treated.
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 this discomfort. Additionally, the intensity of the treatment can be adjusted throughout the session.
HOW SOON WILL I SEE RESULTS?
Most patients see a noticeable improvement within the first 2 or 3 treatments, some as early as the 1st treatment.
HOW OFTEN DO I NEED TO BE TREATED?
Depending on the tissue being treated, subsequent treatments are performed between 3-10 days.
IS THERE ANY PAIN AFTER TREATMENT?
Most patients will experience an immediate pain relief following the treatment. However, within 2–4 hours after the treatment, they may experience some soreness in the treated area. This soreness has been reported as tolerable and not limiting
