Also known as shockwave therapy, RPW Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses sound waves to treat soft tissue and bone injuries. Skilled in the anatomy of joints, tendons, and ligaments, a physical therapist utilizes it to help with a variety of conditions, including:
- Achilles tendinitis
- Chronic heel spurs
- Chronic low back pain
- Jumper’s knee
- Patellar tendinitis
- Plantar fasciitis
- Tennis elbow
RPW therapy works by sending high-energy sound waves into the body, which stimulates blood flow and cell growth in the damaged area. This helps to regenerate healthy tissue and bone, and can reduce muscle pain and aches.
