Shockwave Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that utilizes high-energy acoustic waves to stimulate the body's natural healing process. It promotes tissue regeneration, increases blood flow, and reduces pain by breaking down scar tissue and calcium deposits.

While Shockwave Therapy may cause some discomfort during treatment, it is generally well-tolerated by patients. The intensity of the treatment can be adjusted to suit individual comfort levels, and any discomfort experienced is typically temporary.

Shockwave Therapy is commonly used to treat a variety of musculoskeletal conditions, including tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, and shoulder pain. It has also shown promising results in treating erectile dysfunction, cellulite, and chronic wounds.

The number of Shockwave Therapy sessions needed varies depending on the specific condition being treated, as well as individual factors such as severity and response to treatment. In many cases, patients may require between 3 to 6 sessions spaced out over several weeks.

While Shockwave Therapy is generally considered safe, some patients may experience mild side effects such as temporary redness, bruising, or swelling at the treatment site. These side effects typically resolve on their own shortly after treatment.

The timing of results from Shockwave Therapy can vary depending on the condition being treated and individual factors. Some patients may experience improvement after just a few sessions, while others may require more time to see significant benefits.

Coverage for Shockwave Therapy varies depending on the patient's insurance plan and the specific condition being treated. Some insurance plans may cover Shockwave Therapy for certain musculoskeletal conditions, while others may require prior authorization or out-of-pocket payment.

While Shockwave Therapy is generally safe, there are certain contraindications to consider. Patients with pacemakers, pregnant women, and individuals with certain medical conditions such as cancer or blood disorders may not be suitable candidates for Shockwave Therapy.
