Frequently Asked Questions

What is Radial Shockwave Therapy?

Radial Shockwave Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses acoustic waves to target areas of pain or injury. It stimulates the body’s natural healing process by promoting tissue repair, reducing inflammation, and increasing blood flow.

What conditions can Radial Shockwave Therapy treat?

This therapy is effective for a wide range of conditions, including tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, calcific shoulder tendinopathy, tennis elbow, shin splints, bursitis, and chronic muscle pain. 

How does Radial Shockwave Therapy work?

It works by sending controlled acoustic waves into the affected area. These waves stimulate cellular activity, increase the production of collagen, and promote the regeneration of damaged tissues, providing relief and enhancing healing. 

Is Radial Shockwave Therapy painful?

Most patients describe the sensation as tolerable, often feeling minor discomfort during the treatment. The intensity can be adjusted to your comfort level to ensure a positive experience. 

How many sessions are typically needed for results?

The number of sessions varies depending on the individual and the condition being treated. Generally, 3 to 6 sessions are recommended for noticeable improvement, with each session lasting around 15 to 20 minutes. 

Are there any side effects of Radial Shockwave Therapy?

Side effects are typically minimal and may include mild soreness or redness in the treated area. These effects usually subside within a few hours to a couple of days after the session. 

Who is a good candidate for Radial Shockwave Therapy?

Most individuals experiencing chronic pain or soft tissue injuries may benefit from this therapy. However, it is not recommended for individuals with blood clotting disorders, infections, or those who are pregnant. A consultation will determine if it’s the right treatment for you. 

How long does it take to see results from Radial Shockwave Therapy?

Some patients notice improvement after the first session, but it typically takes a few weeks or multiple sessions for full therapeutic effects to become evident. 

How does Radial Shockwave Therapy compare to other treatments?

Unlike invasive surgical procedures, Radial Shockwave Therapy is non-invasive, requires no anesthesia, and has no extended recovery period. It is also safer than long-term reliance on medications for managing chronic pain.
