Radial Pressure Wave (RPW) Therapy

Radial Pressure Wave (RPW) Therapy is a form of shockwave therapy and is an effective and efficient deep tissue therapy tool for treating musculoskeletal pain and other chronic issues. RPW can break down fibrous scar tissue and stimulate normal cell regeneration to promote healing and reduce pain.

Research shows that RPW Therapy can be helpful with the treatment of tendonitis in various locations such as shoulders, elbows, hips, knees and Achilles tendons. It can also improve pain with various musculoskeletal conditions and throughout the body including trapezius muscles, upper and lower back, sole of the foot or any other regions affected by trigger points or thickened and immobile tissues.

Problems that RPW research has shown to help are:

  • Shoulder tendonitis
  • Achilles tendonitis
  • Plantar fasciitis
  • Tennis elbow
  • Golfer’s elbow
  • Gluteal tendonitis
  • Hamstring tendonitis
  • Myofascial pain syndrome
  • Lower back pain
  • Pelvic pain & dysfunction

Treatment typically consists of 3 to 6 sessions with a maximum of 8 sessions, spaced one week apart.

If you are suffering from pain and dysfunction, RPW Therapy may help your tissues to heal further, reduce pain and increase your overall function. RPW is a solution for chronic conditions. Please call for more information.

Please note, RPW Therapy is not covered by insurance and is a private pay service.
