Radial Shockwave Therapy

Radial Shockwave Therapy (RSWT)

Freedom Physical Therapy Services now offers Radial Shockwave Therapy. Radial Shockwave Therapy is an FDA-cleared technology proven to increase the rate of healing for soft tissue tendinopathy. It is an advanced, non-invasive, and highly effective treatment method that enhances blood circulation and accelerates the healing process causing damaged tissue to gradually regenerate.

The system is a machine with an applicator that looks like an ultrasound. It is administered once a week for a series of 4-5 treatments. Each treatment takes approximately 5 minutes depending on the size and number of areas treated. All treatments are performed by experienced professionals.

How does it work?

When you experience chronic pain, your body no longer recognizes that there is an injury to that area. As a result, it shuts down the healing process and you feel no relief. The ballistic sound waves of the Enpuls penetrate deep through your soft tissue, causing micro-trauma or new inflammatory condition to the treated area. Once this occurs, it then triggers your body’s natural healing response once again. The energy emitted also causes the cells in the soft tissue to release certain biochemicals that intensify the body’s natural healing process. These biochemicals allow for the building of an array of new microscopic blood vessels in the soft tissue.

Why Consider Radial Shockwave Therapy?

Radial Shockwave Therapy has a better success rate than other more traditional treatment methods, including surgery. There are no lengthy recovery periods, complications, incisions, risk of infection, or scar tissue that can occur with surgery. There is no need for anesthesia to be administered during the treatment, as opposed to high-energy shockwave therapy. Patients treated with RSWT may be active immediately and resume their normal routine the same day. Many patients find a significant and immediate reduction in their pain. Some patients will feel results gradually after each treatment.

Are there side effects to RSWT?

There have been very few side effects reported. In rare cases, skin bruising may occur. Patients may feel soreness in the area for a day or two afterward, similar to a strenuous workout. During the treatment, there may be some minor discomfort. Painful areas are helpful in isolating the injured area.
