In a nutshell…
Shockwave is Radial Pressure Wave (RPW) therapy. An oscillation is repetitively delivered to injured tissue by way of a handheld device in the hands of a skilled practitioner. It is a localized treatment, and works directly on a problem area to help break up scar tissue, increase range of motion, and restore proper function to muscles/joints.
1. What does RPW feel like?
Most patients report a sore, thumping sensation as the head of the Shockwave tool passes over the area of concern. A minor post-treatment soreness is common, and usually fades as treatment goes on.
2. How long is a treatment?
Each treatment lasts 10-15 minutes.
3. How many treatments do I need?
Up to 8 treatments may be needed, 4-6 is most common.
