Radial Pressure Wave Therapy
Pain Modulation
Research suggests that shockwave therapy can reduce pain through a variety of mechanisms that surround the gate-control theory of pain transmission. These include: hyperstimulation of nociceptors, altered pain receptor neurotransmission, and by increasing local pain-inhibiting substances.⁸
Tissue Activation
Shockwave therapy transmits acoustic waves into the body initiating the process of mechanotransduction. This is where cells respond to the energy from the waves resulting in biochemical changes that can promote tissue repair.¹
Short Treatments
Depending on the area being treated, shockwave therapy treatment sessions can be completed in 10 minutes or less, and patients may experience results after just 3 treatments.⁹
