What Is HealthWave Therapy?

Healthwave works by delivering acoustic waves directly to the area triggering pain. This technology was initially developed to break up kidney stones during lithotripsy, but research shows that many orthopedic injuries improve with HealthWave. This non-invasive procedure does not involve needles or surgery and results are seen within only a few treatments. The device delivers shock waves that are precise and targeted through a hand held wand. Deep tissues are able to be reached and there are no significant adverse effects. HealthWave is a fantastic alternative to pain medication with some patients experiencing relief after the first visit.

How Does HealthWave Work And Reduce Pain?

Shock waves are high energy acoustic waves. During the treatment, this wave is focused through a lens and transmitted into the body, up to a depth of 4.7″. The shock waves interrupt pain pathways of inflamed nerves while stimulating cells and the body’s intrinsic healing mechanism. This leads to restoration of healthy functioning of cells and brings new blood flow to the area to encourage natural healing.

How many treatments will I need?

Generally, three (3) to five (5) sessions are necessary at weekly intervals. Treatment sessions take approximately 5-10 minutes depending on the type of problem area that is being treated.

What are the possible side effects/complications?

The non-invasive HealthWave treatment has virtually no risks or side effects. In some cases, patients may experience slight discomfort. Contraindications to HealthWave therapy include bleeding disorders, active malignancy and pregnancy.
