What to expect:
Each session takes a few minutes. It can feel uncomfortable during treatment. Mild soreness or redness can occur afterwards.
How we check progress:
Function, tenderness and pain rating, compared with your baseline.
What Adjustments Can and Cannot Do
What it can and cannot do:
Shockwave therapy may help some long-lasting tendon and soft tissue problems, usually alongside exercise. It does not work for everyone.
