Radial Shockwave Therapy
What is Radial Shockwave Therapy?
Radial shockwave therapy (RSWT) is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate healing and reduce pain in the body. It is often used in physical therapy and sports medicine to treat a variety of conditions, including plantar fasciitis, tendonitis, and muscle strains.
How does Radial Shockwave Therapy work?
During a radial shockwave therapy treatment, a practitioner will use a handheld device to deliver the shockwaves to the area being treated. The shockwaves are thought to stimulate the production of collagen and other substances that promote healing, and to increase blood flow to the area, which can help reduce inflammation and pain.
Radial shockwave therapy is generally considered safe, with few side effects. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare provider who is trained in this technique to determine if it is appropriate for you. Some people may not be suitable candidates for radial shockwave therapy, such as those with certain medical conditions or who are pregnant.
