Radial shockwaves are broad, low-energy waves for superficial conditions (1-3 cm depth) and larger treatment areas, often used for soft tissue injuries. Focused shockwaves are precise, high-energy waves for deeper tissues (up to 12 cm depth) and localized issues, suitable for chronic or deep-seated conditions like bone injuries

How is therapy done?

Your Goodfield IL therapist will discuss your symptoms with you and locate the source of pain. They will then mark the area intended for the Shockwave Therapy. A gel is applied to optimize the contact between the application device and your skin. The handpiece delivers pulsations to the pain area for a number of prescribed pulses, depending on the condition.
