What Is Radial Shockwave Therapy?
Radial Shockwave Therapy is a non-invasive treatment designed to address a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions. It works by promoting the healing of damaged or degenerated tissue, leading to reduced pain and improved function.
How Shockwave Therapy Works?
During treatment, the practitioner uses a specialized handpiece that delivers high-energy pulses to the affected area. These pulses create mechanical pressure within the tissue, stimulating cells responsible for bone and connective tissue repair.
Precautions & Contraindications:
You may not be a candidate for Radial Shockwave Therapy if certain medical conditions apply. It is essential to inform your practitioner of any relevant health concerns before treatment.
What to Expect During Treatment?
A typical session involves 2,000–3,000 shockwaves per treatment area. Most conditions require approximately 5 sessions, although chronic issues may need additional treatments.
What to Expect After Treatment?
Many patients experience immediate pain relief after a session. Temporary soreness or swelling may occur as part of the body’s normal healing response.
Clinical Success Rates:
90% improvement for plantar fasciitis
91% improvement for tendonitis
77% improvement for tennis elbow
