Radial Pressure Wave
Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy - or Radial Pressure Wave Therapy - uses painless, low-intensity SOUND waves (not electrical shocks!) to take several actions in the body: 1) break down scar tissue; 2) initiate regenerative healing by activating specialized cells to build new tissue; and 3) to stimulate the expansion of blood vessels - both in size and quantity - which brings more nutrients, improved gas exchange and carry the cells necessary for building and repair of new tissue.
Depending on the area to be addressed, typical therapy involves 3-6 sessions lasting about 10-15 minutes each, with usually 2 weeks between each treatment. Most patients experience immediate improvement - so you can expect some results with the first session. You can read about the studies that have been done showing that Shock Wave Therapy works, and the science behind it with a simple search on the internet. Mainstream medicine most commonly takes the approach of temporary measures using medications and injections; or invasive surgery that often has painful and prolonged recovery. Shock Wave Therapy offers a
PERMANENT, non-invasive solution without medications - not a temporary measure! It uses the body's own power of regenerative capabilites to repair and heal.
Common areas that can be addressed are neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, hands, back, hips, knees, ankles, and feet. We can treat tendonopathies, joint injuries/sprains, muscle strains and tightness, plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, golfers elbow, knee pain/stiffness, low back pain/stiffness...to name a few. We can even treat
ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION - eliminating the need for medications and the many side effects they cause -
PERMANENTLY!
