Shockwave Therapy Services for Pain Relief
When you are living in constant pain, whether it’s due to tennis elbow, tendinitis, plantar fasciitis, or another condition, you will try almost anything just to feel some relief. Most doctors will recommend painkillers that just dull the brain’s pain receptors for a time, instead of treating the source of your physical discomfort. Some will make the call for surgery sooner than might be necessary. When you come to Dr. David W.

WHAT IS RADIAL AND FOCUSED SHOCKWAVE THERAPY?
Shockwave therapy originated in Europe during the mid-1980s, but because the technology was so expensive, it only recently became a common practice. Initially, shock waves were developed for the medical purpose of treating kidney stones, but many other health applications, such as the treatment of musculoskeletal conditions, were eventually discovered.
A shockwave is not an electrical shock, as one might imagine; rather, it is an energy wave that is produced when an object reaches the speed of sound. The shockwave devices transmit high and low-energy, acoustic waves through the surface of the skin. When extracorporeal shockwave therapy is administered, these acoustic waves are generated by air compression and electromagnetic applications, which then spread into the tissue of the affected area of the body.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF RADIAL AND FOCUSED SHOCKWAVE SERVICES?
Extracorporeal radial shockwave therapy offers multiple health advantages. At Dr. David W. Nadler & Associates, we are a certified expert in Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology (EPAT) and focused shockwave therapy, which is a non-invasive, evidence-based treatment option that helps patients suffering from musculoskeletal conditions such as tendinitis, tennis elbow, or plantar fasciitis experience a significant reduction in pain.
Here are just a few of the other benefits of extracorporeal shockwave therapy:
- No surgery
- No anesthesia
- No risk of infection
- No scarring
- No downtime
- Over 80 percent satisfaction rate
Extracorporeal shockwave therapy increases metabolic activity around the treated area, which stimulates the reabsorption of irritated calcium deposits and the body’s natural healing response by a process called angiogenesis. It causes the disintegration of fibrosis and improves the affected area’s function, a long with improving bone pathology.
In addition to tennis elbow, extracorporeal shockwave therapy addresses an assortment of injuries, such as chronic back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, cervical syndrome, frozen shoulder, patellar tendonitis, and lumbar syndrome. It can also help to treat erectile dysfunction (ED). Athletes also looking to have a competitive edge, seek shockwave therapy to improve overall sports performance. Focused and radial shockwave therapy also has a cosmetic benefit with the reduction of both cellulite and facial wrinkles.
