What Is Shockwave Therapy?

Shockwave Therapy is a scientifically backed, non-surgical treatment that delivers high-energy sound waves (radial pressure waves) to injured or painful areas of the body. These waves stimulate blood flow, break down scar tissue, and promote natural healing.

What to Expect During a Session: FAQ's

How long does the treatment session take?
Each shockwave therapy session typically lasts 10–15 minutes. A gel is applied to the skin, and the handheld applicator delivers targeted sound waves to the affected area.

A typical treatment plan involves 4–6 sessions spaced 5-7 days a part.

Most people experience a noticeable reduction in pain after just 1–2 sessions. However, research shows us the effects will continue to work in the body up to 12 weeks after you finish treatment. Meaning, you may experience gradual improvements over 3 months.
