Shockwave therapy for pain relief

 

Shockwave therapy is a safe, non-invasive treatment that uses focused sound waves to stimulate healing and relieve pain.

 

Commonly asked questions:

 

Q:  What conditions can shockwave therapy help with?

A:  It’s highly effective for conditions like:

- plantar fasciitis

- shoulder tendonitis

- muscle strains

- frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis)

- other chronic pain issues

 

Q: Will the treatment hurt?
A: Most patients experience some mild discomfort during the procedure, as the shockwave works to break down any calcifications or adhesions in the joint and surrounding muscles.

 

Q: How many sessions will I need?
A: Typically, 3 to 5 sessions lead to noticeable improvement, and between 5-7 shockwave sessions are needed per treatment area.

 

Q: Are there any side effects?
A: Side effects are rare but may include mild redness, swelling, or tenderness in the treated area, which usually resolve quickly.

 

Q: Who is a good candidate for shockwave therapy?
A: Most people with chronic musculoskeletal pain, tendon injuries, or soft tissue problems can benefit.  We will assess your condition to determine if shockwave therapy is right for you.
