With shockwave therapy there are no side effects and the treatment is non-surgical. Using shockwave therapy you can promote accelerated healing of injured soft tissues, joint, bone and heel pain. The initial shockwave is very intense but doesn’t last very long. Usually sessions will last 20-30 minutes and provide relief of pain and restoration of mobility. Typically treatment is done once a week for 3-6 weeks depending on the results.

Does it hurt?
The treatment may be mildly uncomfortable but the discomfort should only last for 4-5 minutes and the intensity can be adjusted for comfort.
How does it work?
Shockwave therapy works by creating a series of low energy acoustic wave pulsations that applied directly to an injury through a person’s skin. The technology was originally created after discovering that focused sound waves are able to break down kidneys and gallstones. Since then generated shockwaves have time and time again proven successful among a number of scientific studies on the treatment of chronic conditions. With shockwave therapy you don’t need painkillers, as the purpose of the therapy is to trigger the body’s own natural healing response. Many people feel reduced pain and increased mobility after the first treatment.
