Radial Shockwave Therapy
What is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave Therapy is an intense but very short energy pulse travelling faster than the speed of sound. Treatments are non-invasive and accelerate the body’s natural healing process by stimulating metabolic activity and enhancing blood circulation to aide in the regeneration of damaged muscles, tendons, ligaments, bones and joints.
Benefits of Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave Therapy is often described as a deep achy or snappy sensation which resides quickly. Most patients experience immediate pain relief but sometimes it can take up to 72 hrs to notice a change. Treatments are approximately 30 minutes and typically require 3 – 5 sessions to provide the most successful results.
