Radial shockwave therapy
Effective treatment of pain and restricted mobility
Radial shockwave therapy is a tried-and-tested method for treating muscle and tendon problems. It can improve blood circulation, break up adhesions and support tissue healing. In our practice, we use this therapy specifically to treat acute and chronic pain.
How does radial shockwave therapy work?
During treatment, mechanical pressure waves are applied directly to the affected area of the body.
These can help to break up and loosen adhesions and stiffness in the muscles and fascia, stimulate metabolism and promote the healing process.
