Radial shockwave therapy (RSWT) is a type shockwave therapy known as extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT), generically called shockwave therapy. Shockwave therapy is a cutting-edge, non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy acoustic waves to precisely target areas of chronic pain and soft tissue injuries. These waves penetrate deeply into tissues, promoting cellular regeneration, improving blood flow, and reducing inflammation. By accelerating the body’s natural healing processes, shockwave therapy helps you recover faster, achieve long-term pain relief, and regain your mobility and quality of life.
At Integrated Sport, Spine & Rehab, we use state-of-the-art radial shockwave technology to ensure you get the best possible results from your treatment.
Radial Shockwave Therapy (RSWT) works by delivering low- to medium-energy acoustic waves that spread radially (outward) from a specialized applicator. These radial waves create mechanical stress on superficial tissues, stimulating the body’s natural healing process in several specific ways:
Breaking down calcified tissues: The acoustic waves gently fragment calcifications in tendons or soft tissues near the surface, which are gradually reabsorbed by the body.
Enhancing blood circulation: RSWT promotes increased blood flow by stimulating the formation of new blood vessels (neovascularization), ensuring that oxygen and nutrients reach the targeted area more effectively.
Stimulating superficial collagen production: Radial waves encourage the production of collagen, a critical protein for repairing damaged tendons, ligaments, and skin, promoting healthy tissue regeneration.
Reducing pain by modulating nerve activity: RSWT disrupts pain signals at the superficial level, calming overactive nerve endings and providing both immediate and sustained pain relief.
This targeted, non-invasive approach is ideal for treating superficial musculoskeletal issues, offering relief and recovery without the need for invasive procedures or medications.
Shockwave therapy is highly effective for a variety of musculoskeletal conditions, including:
If you're experiencing persistent pain or a slow recovery from an injury, shockwave therapy may be the solution you need.
