How does Shockwave work?

Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) utilizes high-energy acoustic waves that are transmitted through the patient’s skin using a transducer and a topical gel. These energy pulses target the injured area, enhancing circulation, breaking down scar tissue, and stimulating new cell growth. Treatment sessions typically last between five and 15 minutes, based on the patient’s specific condition.

This innovative pain management technique is both safe and generally painless, eliminating the need for anesthesia or pain medications. Shockwave therapy provides effective chronic pain relief, promoting quicker and more complete healing.

When will you see results?

The number of sessions needed for optimal results varies for each individual. During your initial consultation and examination, we will provide an estimate of the necessary number of sessions.

Each person and injury is unique, as is the body’s response to treatment. Some conditions may improve after just a couple of sessions, while others might require five or six treatments.
