Shockwave Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses acoustic waves to stimulate healing in injured tissues. These high-energy sound waves increase blood flow, break down scar tissue, and promote cellular repair, making it an effective therapy for chronic pain, sports injuries, and musculoskeletal conditions.
Initial Consultation: Your session begins with a brief consultation to understand your health history and specific wellness goals. This helps us tailor the therapy to your needs.
Preparation: You’ll be shown to a treatment room where the area to be treated will be exposed. A gel is applied to the skin to help conduct the shockwaves.
Therapy Session: The therapist will use a handheld device to deliver shockwaves to the targeted area. You may feel a tapping or pulsating sensation as the waves penetrate your tissues.
Duration: A typical shockwave therapy session lasts between 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the treatment area and condition.
Immediate Effects: Post-session, you may experience a slight redness or tenderness in the treated area, which typically subsides within a few hours. Many clients feel an immediate reduction in pain and improved mobility.
Short-term Benefits: In the days following your session, you may notice reduced inflammation, enhanced healing, and relief from chronic pain.
Long-term Benefits: With regular sessions, clients often experience sustained improvements in chronic conditions, faster recovery from injuries, and enhanced overall functionality.
Pain Relief: Effectively reduces chronic pain from conditions like plantar fasciitis, tendinitis, and bursitis.
Enhanced Healing: Promotes tissue regeneration and repair by increasing blood flow and cellular activity.
Reduced Inflammation: Helps decrease inflammation in injured tissues.
Scar Tissue Breakdown: Breaks down scar tissue and calcifications, improving flexibility and reducing pain.
Improved Mobility: Enhances range of motion in joints and muscles.
Non-Invasive: Provides an alternative to surgery for many musculoskeletal conditions.

Athletes: Enhance recovery from sports injuries, reduce muscle soreness, and improve overall performance.

Post-Surgical Patients: Promote faster healing and reduce scar tissue formation after surgery.
Is it Safe?: Yes, Shockwave Therapy is a safe and non-invasive treatment. It is widely used and supported by extensive clinical research.
Will it Hurt?: The therapy may cause slight discomfort during the session, similar to a tapping sensation. Most clients find it tolerable, and the intensity can be adjusted to your comfort level.
How Many Sessions Do I Need?: The number of sessions required varies based on individual needs and conditions. Our specialists will develop a personalized treatment plan during your initial consultation.
Are There Any Side Effects?: Side effects are rare but may include temporary redness, swelling, or mild bruising in the treated area. These typically resolve quickly.
