Shockwave Therapy
Radial Pressure Shockwave Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses controlled shockwaves to target specific areas of the body.
It works by stimulating the body’s natural healing processes, improving blood flow, and promoting tissue repair. This therapy is safe, effective, and widely used to treat a variety of conditions with minimal side effects.
The Chattanooga Intelect RPW 2 is one of the most advanced and compact shockwave therapy units, designed for maximum patient comfort and efficiency.

What Shockwave Therapy Treats
Radial Pressure Shockwave Therapy is effective for many conditions, particularly those that involve soft tissue and musculoskeletal pain, including:
- Chronic soft tissue injuries
- Tendonitis and tendinopathies (e.g., tennis elbow, Achilles tendonitis)
- Plantar fasciitis (heel pain)
- Calcific shoulder tendinitis
- Myofascial pain syndrome
- Trigger points
- Muscle strains and tears
- Insertional pain (where tendons attach to bones)
How Does Shockwave Therapy Help?
Radial Pressure Shockwave Therapy provides the following benefits:
- Pain relief: Reduces pain through targeted stimulation.
- Improved healing: Stimulates cellular activity and metabolism to repair tissues.
- Enhanced blood flow: Promotes circulation to support tissue regeneration.
- Muscle recovery: Helps restore strength and mobility.
Shockwave therapy is used in conjunction with osteopathic techniques as research has shown, that when COMBINED, patients get better results for certain issues than when applied separately.
Conditions that benefit from shockwave application:
Shockwave therapy offers several musculoskeletal benefits, including:
Pain Relief
- Reduction in Chronic Pain: Decreases pain by desensitizing nerve endings and inhibiting the transmission of pain signals.
- Trigger Point Release: Breaks down painful muscle knots and improves local circulation.
- Improved Pain Tolerance: Promotes the release of endorphins and reduces substance P in tissues.
Tissue Healing
- Stimulation of Blood Flow: Improves circulation to accelerate tissue repair and healing.
- Collagen Production: Enhances collagen synthesis, which is critical for tendon and ligament repair.
- Cellular Regeneration: Activates stem cells and fibroblasts for tissue regeneration.
Breakdown of Calcifications
- Calcium Deposit Dissolution: Gradually reduces calcifications in tendons, such as those seen in calcific tendinitis.
Improved Functionality
- Tendon and Ligament Repair: Promotes healing in chronic tendonopathies like Achilles or patellar tendinopathy.
- Joint Mobility: Increases range of motion by reducing scar tissue and adhesions.
- Fascia Release: Loosens tight connective tissues to relieve restrictions.
Reduction in Inflammation
- Decreased Edema: Improves lymphatic drainage, reducing swelling and inflammation.
- Modulation of Inflammatory Processes: Shifts chronic inflammation toward resolution.
Scar Tissue Remodeling
- Softening of Fibrosis: Improves flexibility and mobility by breaking down scar tissue.
Bone Healing
- Stimulates Osteogenesis: Promotes bone healing in fractures and stress injuries by activating osteoblasts.
Athletic Recovery
- Muscle Relaxation: Reduces muscle tension and enhances post-exercise recovery.
- Improved Performance: Enhances functional movement by relieving pain and improving tissue quality.
Shockwave therapy is particularly effective for conditions like plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, frozen shoulder, and iliotibial band syndrome.
