Shockwave Therpay

What is Radial Shockwave Therapy?
Radial Shockwave Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses acoustic sound waves to support your body’s natural healing. The handheld device delivers low-energy acoustic pulses into the body’s tissues to stimulate healing by encouraging tissue regeneration, stimulating blood flow, boosting collagen production, reducing calcification, and alleviating pain and inflammation at the nerve level – accelerating recovery without surgery.

Unique to Beyond The Body is the use of Shockwave Therapy in conjunct with your Manual Osteopathy treatment to get deeper releases and more effective results.
 
Did you know... It takes approximately 90 days for tendons to regenerate and repair their tissues? Clients often experience 70-80% reduction of their original pain within 3-8 treatments; with residual pain further decreasing after 90 days of healing and regeneration time.

Commonly Treated Conditions

  • Broken bones that have failed to heal (nonunions)
  • Shoulder pain
  • Tennis elbow
  • Heel spurs
  • Shin splints
  • Stress fractures
  • Enhancing bone healing
  • Muscle and connective tissue injuries
  • And more

Benefits

  • Stimulates natural healing: The acoustic waves send extra blood, oxygen and nutrients into the injured area, triggering the body’s natural repair processes at a cellular level. In other words, shockwave therapy helps your body heal chronic injuries by increasing circulation, releasing growth factors, and encouraging new tissue formation.
     
  • Reduces pain and inflammation: By “resetting” nerve signals, shockwave pulses can interrupt pain signals and decrease long-term inflammation. Many patients notice that their pain starts to ease after a few treatments.
     
  • Safe and convenient: The therapy is non-invasive with minimal risk and virtually no downtime. Most clients can resume normal activities immediately after treatment, often with less pain right away
     
  • Effective on stubborn conditions: This therapy is especially useful for chronic tendon and soft-tissue problems. In many cases, shockwave therapy succeeds where other treatments have failed.
