Radial Shockwave Therapy sends small acoustic waves to damaged areas. These waves penetrate tissue, promoting tissue repair. During your shockwave therapy treatment, you will feel a slight pressure from the shockwave pulses for about 5 to 7 minutes. Some patients experience pain relief almost immediately, however, most patients achieve maximum benefits after 8 to 12 treatments.
If you are suffering from heel pain, Achilles tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, painful neuropathy, neuromas, or any type of foot pain, Radial Shockwave Therapy may help you and your feet feel their very best.
