RPW Shockwave Treatment

Service Description

Radial pulse wave (RPW) is a form of shockwave therapy. It is a non-invasive treatment that uses pressure waves delivered through the skin to help reduce pain and stimulate healing in muscles, tendons, and soft tissues. The pulses improve blood flow, break up tight or damaged tissue, and encourage the body’s natural repair process. It works really well for issues such as Tendonitis, Plantar Fasciitis, and other muscle and fascial issues. Newer research shows it is one of the most effective treatments for Plantar Fasciitis! But, like any other modality, it works really well to start to change the tissue, but then it needs to be paired with specific exercises to maintain the changes. There are lots of different factors that lead to some of these issues, so I always require a full evaluation 1st, then we can decide if shockwave is appropriate for you. If you have not been seen for a Physical Therapy Evaluation for the affected body part, please schedule that prior to this. Everything I offer as Physical Therapy Treatment is always included in the price/visit - no surprise charges! BUT, if you have gone through an evaluation and treatment, and we have determined RPW treatment is beneficial, this is an option for treatment at a discounted price as it will not take the full hour (usually I encourage the full treatment time for progression of exercises and other manual techniques, but some of you may not require that, and this is for you!) Most research shows the optimal dosage is between 4-8 treatments, and this allows you to pay $60/treatment, as opposed to my full price/visit.
