Igniting Healing: The Basics of Shock Wave Therapy
We are proud to offer two different options when it comes to Shock Wave therapy:
Shock waves are high-energy acoustic waves. During a shock wave session, these waves are focused through a lens and transmitted into the body. The shock waves interrupt pain pathways of inflamed nerves while stimulating cells and the body’s intrinsic healing mechanism. This leads to restoration of healthy functioning of cells and brings new blood flow to the area to encourage natural healing in bones, tendons, ligaments and muscle.
Which Shock Wave Therapy is Right for Me?
Your doctor will determine which option of Shock Wave therapy is best for your condition at your consultation. Radial and Focused shock wave therapy target the body differently. Both treatments are sometimes used together in the same session.
Shock Wave therapy is FDA-cleared as a non-invasive care option for patients with various complaints, including:
