WHAT IS Shockwave Therapy?

Radial Pressure Waves (RPW) are acoustic waves that generate oscillations in the tissue.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Radial pressure wave therapy helps reduce muscle pain and activate connective tissue, temporarily aid in the increase of blood flow, and help in the treatment of tendinitis in hips and shoulders and helps improve pain in various musculoskeletal conditions.

What does shockwave therapy feel like?

Patients may report feeling soreness and a thumping sensation when the treatment head passes over dysfuncational tissues.
