Radial shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment for persistent muscle, tendon and soft-tissue conditions. Despite its name, it does not deliver an electrical shock.
A compressed-air handpiece creates mechanical acoustic pressure waves. Conductive gel helps transfer these waves through the skin and into the targeted tissue.
Treatment feels like rapid tapping or pulsing. Sensitive areas may feel temporarily uncomfortable, but the intensity can be adjusted to your tolerance.
Your appointment includes an assessment, targeted treatment and aftercare or exercise recommendations. Mild temporary soreness or redness may occur. A short series of appointments is commonly recommended, with improvement often occurring gradually over several weeks.
Shockwave therapy is not appropriate for everyone. A chiropractor will assess your condition, review your health history and screen for precautions before recommending treatment.
