Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy by STORZ MEDICAL©

Drug Free, Surgery Free, Advanced Pain Relief

Our practice is among the first in the area to offer access to the Shockwave from STORZ MEDICAL©.

Now we can offer you a non-surgical option that truly has the power to eliminate or significantly reduce your pain. Drug free, pain relief is the goal for individuals suffering from acute or chronic pain. Extracorporeal Shockwave therapy is a noninvasive treatment that stimulates the body’s natural healing process by sending high-velocity sound waves that break down damaged tissues and promote new healing.

No pain, no gain. stubborn conditions deep in your tissues may need to be “broken up”.  Treatment may induce discomfort and pain to the area of treatment which is likely to subside as treatment continues and the tissue heals.

A treatment lasts for about 5-10 minutes per region and is applied with the use of a specialized hand piece.  Treatment is typically rendered weekly for 3-5 weeks depending on several factors.
