SHOCKWAVE THERAPY
Pressure Wave Therapy, commonly referred to as Shockwave Therapy, is a non-invasive treatment that uses acoustic sound waves to promote healing and stimulate blood flow in targeted areas. It is widely used to treat conditions such as chronic pain, soft tissue injuries, and enhance sexual wellness. This therapy helps regenerate tissues by activating the body’s natural healing processes, offering an effective solution without the need for surgery or medications.
Some of the conditions we can treat with Shockwave therapy at our Phoenix office include:
- Jumper’s knee
- Shoulder pain
- Tennis elbow
- Heel spur
- Insertional pain
- Chronic tendinopathy
- Medial tibial stress syndrome
- Calcifications
- Hip pain
- Plantar fasciitis
- Male erectile dysfunction
- Female climax issues
Radial Pressure Waves (RPW) are acoustic waves that generate oscillations in the tissue. 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 to improve pain in various musculoskeletal conditions.
What does RPW feel like?
Patients report feeling an uncomfortable yet tolerable thumping sensation when being treated. The level of comfort will depend on the area treated and the acuity of the condition. Patients can also expect to feel post-treatment soreness in the area of treatment.
How long do treatments last?
About 10 minutes.
How many treatments will I need?
Generally 4-6 treatments, potentially 8.
What do patients say?
How is this even possible after only one treatment, I cant believe how good I feel and how much motion I have. I have been in therapy for months, had injections, been on medication for pain and now I feel great with one treatment of this machine. Why doesn't everyone have this in the clinic?
