Shockwave
What is Radial Shockwave Therapy?
Radial Shockwave Therapy is a cutting edge technology proven to increase the rate of healing for soft tissue tendinopathy. It is an advanced, non-invasive and highly effective treatment method that enhances blood circulation and accelerates the healing process causing damaged tissue to gradually regenerate.
What conditions can be treated with RSWT?
• Plantar Fasciitis
• Achilles Tendinitis
• Morton’s Neuroma’s
• Diabetic Neuropathy and more!
How does RSWT work?
When you experience chronic pain, your body no longer recognizes that there is an injury to that area. As a result, it shuts down the healing process and you feel no relief. The ballistic sound waves of the EnPuls penetrate deep through your soft tissue, causing a microtrauma or new inflammatory condition to the treated area. Once this occurs, it then triggers your body's natural healing response once again. The energy emitted also causes the cells in the soft tissue to release certain bio-chemicals that intensify the body's natural healing process. These bio-chemicals allow for the building of an array of new microscopic blood vessels in the soft tissue.
What do studies show?
There have been extensive studies done on Radial Shockwave Therapy over the past 23 years. These studies show an average 80% success rate.
How is RSWT performed?
The system is a machine with an applicator that looks like an ultrasound.
It is administered once a week for a series of 4 to 5 treatments.
Each treatment takes approximately 5 minutes depending
on the size and number of areas treated.
All treatments are performed by experienced Doctors or staff.
The Doctor applies the applicator to the area and administers the ballistic waves by moving over the affected area in a very slow, circular motion. During the treatment, there may be some minor discomfort. Painful areas are helpful in isolating the truly injured areas.
