What is Shock Wave Therapy?

Shock Wave Therapy is a non-invasive technique used to treat a variety of conditions, including erectile dysfunction, muscle and joint pain, and tissue regeneration. The therapy works by delivering high-energy sound waves to the targeted area, stimulating blood flow, enhancing healing, and boosting collagen production.

What are the Steps of the Procedure?

Comprehensive Assessment: A thorough medical evaluation is conducted to identify the target area and adjust the device settings based on the patient’s condition.

Gel Application: A conductive gel is applied to the treatment area to improve wave transmission.

Wave Application: High-energy shock waves are directed at the tissues to break down calcifications, improve blood flow, and promote healing.

Non-Invasive Treatment: The device is applied to the skin in short sessions without the need for incisions or cuts.

How Long Does the Procedure Take?

A Shock Wave Therapy session typically lasts 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area and the number of sessions required for optimal results.

Pre- and Post-Treatment Precautions

Before the Treatment:

Avoid anti-inflammatory medications for two days before the session, as they may reduce the therapy's effectiveness.

Ensure proper hydration by drinking plenty of water before the session.

After the Treatment:

Avoid strenuous physical activities for 24 hours after the session.

Apply cold compresses if slight redness or swelling occurs in the treated area.

Avoid exposure to high heat, such as saunas, for 24 hours post-treatment.

Shock Wave Therapy is a safe and effective solution for improving various physical conditions, offering results without the need for surgery or downtime.
