Radial shock waves are sound waves introduced into the body by means of a transmitter and a handpiece. These waves move through the body in an outward motion from the point of contact, The point of contact will be moved throughout your treatment to cover the entire pain region.
When introduced to the tissue, shockwaves have effects on a cellular level that are beneficial for healing. Increased blood flow and formation of new blood vessels create an improved environment for tissue repair. It has further been shown that application of shock waves influences the body's pain regulating mechanisms resulting in local pain relief.
