Shockwave Therapy Houston

Shockwave therapy (also referred to as medical wave therapy or acoustic wave therapy) is a non-invasive treatment that introduces acoustic sound waves into the body through the skin to target specific concerns or injuries. These shockwaves are administered in slow pulses using a special handheld wand or probe.

Initially, this treatment was used to provide pain relief and promote healing without risky medications or invasive surgeries. Recently, however, it has proven successful in remedying many other conditions, such as treating erectile dysfunction, reducing the appearance of cellulite, and improving the look of stretch marks.

In shockwave therapy for pain management, the energy waves emitted from the handheld device increase blood flow to the trouble area, stimulating the healing process and kicking it into high gear.

Since pain relief is most successful when focusing on the root cause, this type of therapy effectively provides long-term healing responses and sustained results. Patients will typically feel results after one to two treatments, with many experiencing pain relief immediately following a session.
