Shockwave Therapy is a modern, non-invasive treatment that uses high-intensity ultrasound waves to treat various musculoskeletal conditions. This innovative approach delivers mechanical energy to injured tissues through a handheld applicator, stimulating your body’s natural healing process.
Radial Shockwave Therapy works by generating a rapid pressure pulse that travels through the skin to the affected area. This energy promotes tissue regeneration, increases blood circulation, and can help reduce pain by affecting nerve fibers. It is a powerful tool for addressing issues that involve tendons, ligaments, and muscle tissue.

You may experience some discomfort during the treatment itself, which is often described as an intense, pulsating feeling in the area being treated. This is a sign that the therapy is reaching the injured tissue. The discomfort typically lasts only for the duration of the short session. After the treatment, many patients report a reduction in pain.
A typical session is very brief, lasting 5 minutes per area treated. This allows the treatment to fit easily into a busy schedule.
Side effects are generally minor and short-lived. They may include temporary redness, mild swelling, or bruising in the treated area. Patients can typically return to their normal activities immediately following the session.
Many patients report immediate pain relief after the first few sessions. However, the true healing and regenerative process takes time. Noticeable, lasting improvement usually occurs within 4 to 6 weeks following the completion of the full series of treatments.
We generally recommend avoiding intense physical activity or high-impact exercise that directly stresses the treated area for 24 to 48 hours after your session. Normal daily activities are fine, but rest helps maximize the healing response stimulated by the therapy.
