When Should I Try Shockwave Therapy?

Shockwave can be a first or second line treatment, and continues to establish itself as a last resort before surgery in many of these conditions. Angiogenesis (new blood vessel formation) in the injured tissue, is thought to be a significant contributor to healing. A typical treatment cycle requires three sessions, completed in weekly intervals. Local anesthesia is not required for most patients.  In addition, many insurance companies will offer coverage for shockwave.
