How is Shockwave Therapy Done?
During a shockwave therapy session, a handheld device delivers targeted acoustic pulses to the affected area. These pulses create microtrauma within the tissue, which triggers the body’s repair mechanisms, including increased blood flow, cellular regeneration, and collagen production. The procedure typically lasts 15 minutes and is performed fully clothed with the patient in a comfortable position.
The treatment is gentle and well-tolerated, with most patients experiencing a mild tingling or tapping sensation without anesthesia. Multiple sessions are often scheduled over several weeks to achieve optimal healing and lasting relief, depending on the condition treated and individual response.
