It is a medical treatment that uses high-energy acoustic waves to stimulate healing in tissues. These waves are generated by a device called a piezoelectric generator, which creates pulses that are directed at the area needing treatment.
The shockwaves help to improve blood circulation, promote tissue regeneration, and reduce pain and inflammation in conditions like tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, and other musculoskeletal issues.
It's a non-invasive procedure often used in orthopedics and sports medicine to accelerate healing and relieve chronic pain.
Sessions are priced at $140 for the first treatment area and $30 for each additional treatment area.
Generally, 3-5 sessions are recommended, varying based on the extent of the injury.
Your suitability for Shockwave therapy is assessed during your initial consultation with our physician, utilizing ultrasound diagnostics and other relevant factors to create your personalized treatment plan.
An initial consultation, which includes ultrasound diagnostics, is priced at $200. $100 of this fee can be applied toward your chosen procedure.
While not mandatory, undergoing ultrasound diagnostics is highly recommended, especially if there hasn't been a previous diagnosis. This diagnostic procedure allows us to tailor your treatment plan for maximum benefit from Shockwave therapy.
Following a Shockwave therapy session, it's advisable to engage in light activity for 3 days. It's important to avoid icing the treated area and taking NSAIDs during this period.
Results vary, but typically, recovery can take between one to three months depending on the nature of the injury.
Piezo Shockwave therapy should be avoided under the following conditions:
Pregnancy
Near a pacemaker
Over areas where growth plates are active (in children and adolescents)
Near areas of cancerous tumors or metastases
Over areas of active infections or open wounds
