This is typically the last conservative resort before surgery is recommended – so before undergoing the knife, take a chance with Radial Pressure Wave therapy.

What exactly is Radial Pressure Wave Therapy?

If you live in Miami, FL, RPW Therapy is just a call away. RPW Therapy uses therapeutic shockwaves to reduce pain and promote healing within the affected area(s) of the body. It originally began over 20 years ago as a way to eliminate kidney stones without causing skin injury. Since then, it has been successful in treating a large number of difficult conditions, including: 

• Frozen shoulder.

• Plantar fasciitis.

• Tendinitis.

• Shin splints.

• Achilles tendinopathy.

• Calcaneal apophysitis.

• De Quervain’s tenosynovitis.

• Osgood-Schlatter disease.

• Tennis elbow.

• Golfer’s elbow.

• Morton’s neuroma.

• And more!

 When a physical therapist performs RPW Therapy, a shockwave will be generated in a handpiece and delivered to the affected tissues via the compressed air that is released through the handpiece. The shockwave will radiate into the affected area and spread to the surrounding areas nearby. Relief should be noticed almost immediately, as pain is alleviated through the shockwaves. This form of treatment accounts for a quick recovery with quick results – in fact, there are usually no more than 3-4 sessions required for optimum results.
