Radial Shock Wave Therapy
A Breakthrough in Non-Invasive Pain Relief
How Radial Shock Wave Therapy Works
RSWT uses high-energy radial pressure waves generated by a specialized device that transmits pulses into the affected area. These energy pulses are applied to the affected area for brief intervals. These pulses penetrate soft tissues and stimulate biological responses in cells, enhancing blood flow and increasing metabolism. This stimulates cells in the body in charge of bone and connective tissue healing.
Radial Shock Wave Therapy has been shown to be effective in treating conditions such as:
- Achilles tendinopathy
- Calcific shoulder tendinitis
- CLBP (chronic low back pain)
- Hamstring tendinopathy
- Heel spurs (painful outgrowths from the heel bone)
- Knee osteoarthritis
- MPS (myofascial pain syndrome)
- MTSS (medial tibial stress syndrome/shin splints)
- Patellar tendinopathy (jumper’s knee)
- Plantar fasciitis
- Sacroiliac pain
- Shoulder tendinopathy
- Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis)
- Trigger points and muscle tension
- Trochanteric bursitis (hip joint pain)
Radial Shock Wave Therapy is not recommended for:
It’s a therapy that can transform lives, but it isn’t for everyone. Here are a few contraindications when alternative treatments might be best:
- Following a fracture or muscle tear
- If you have generalized pain conditions such as fibromyalgia
- If you have blood-clotting disorders or are on blood thinners
- During pregnancy
- For children who are still growing
- Over areas with malignant or benign tumors
- Directly above implanted electronic devices
- In areas with a risk of tissue damage, such as metal implants
If you have any of these conditions, you should talk with Dr. Sunshine before starting Radial Shock Wave Therapy. He can help you decide if the treatment is appropriate and how to proceed.
