FAQs
-
What is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that involves sound waves being delivered to specific damaged tissues.
-
How does it work?
Sound waves cause microtrauma, which increases blood flow within the affected area. This stimulates cell regeneration and healing while decreasing local factors that can cause pain.
-
What does shockwave therapy feel like?
During the treatment, you will feel the shockwaves as pulses that cause a little discomfort, but not pain. Typically, your first treatment will begin with a low level of intensity that we slowly increase to a point where you still feel comfortable.
-
Are there any after effects?
After the treatment, you may experience some reddening of the skin, and the area may be sensitive to the touch for a short period. Rest assured that these after-effects are common and will soon pass.
