Accelerate Healing and Relieve Pain with Radial Pressure Wave Therapy
At Move Forward PT, we offer Radial Pressure Wave Therapy (RPW), a cutting-edge treatment designed to accelerate healing, reduce pain, and improve mobility. This non-invasive therapy is particularly effective for chronic and acute musculoskeletal conditions, offering fast relief without the need for surgery or medications.
What Is Radial Pressure Wave Therapy?
Radial Pressure Wave Therapy, also known as shockwave therapy, uses controlled pressure waves to target damaged tissues in the body. The waves stimulate the body’s natural healing processes, breaking down scar tissue, increasing blood flow, and promoting cellular repair.
The technology is particularly effective for conditions that involve chronic pain or inflammation, such as:
- Plantar fasciitis
- Tendinitis (Achilles, patellar, or rotator cuff tendinitis)
- Tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow
- Shin splints
- Calcific shoulder tendinopathy
- Myofascial trigger points
- Chronic joint and muscle pain
How Does Radial Pressure Wave Therapy Work?
RPW therapy works by delivering high-energy sound waves to the affected area. These waves create microtrauma, which triggers the body’s healing response, resulting in:
- Increased blood circulation: The therapy enhances blood flow to the targeted area, which is essential for tissue repair.
- Breakdown of scar tissue and calcification: It helps to break down problematic tissue, reducing chronic inflammation and restoring flexibility and range of motion.
- Reduced pain and inflammation: Radial waves stimulate the nervous system, helping to block pain signals and reduce inflammation.
