This week a hot new bombshell has entered the Ripple villa: Meet 〰️ Shockwave Therapy 〰️
We’re stoked to share that we now offer focused Shockwave Therapy at our Back Bay clinic! We know you might have a few questions so here’s a quick run down and if you want more details, hit up the blog in the link in bio!
〰️ What is shockwave therapy? 〰️
It uses acoustic pressure waves to treat chronic tendon & fascia pain. Those are sound waves, not electricity. The waves pass through the skin into the irritated tissue.
How does it work?
🌀 It restarts healing. Chronic tendon pain often means the tissue is stuck. Shockwave appears to boost blood flow and cellular activity, pushing the tendon back toward repair.
🌀 It calms pain. Shockwave can reduce the nerve signaling that keeps long-standing pain turned up.
🌀 It breaks up calcium. In calcific shoulder tendinopathy, shockwave helps break down the calcium deposits inside the tendon.
…But like anything, Shockwave Therapy is not a magic fix and it doesn’t replace strength training 💪 So, at Ripple, shockwave therapy is always paired with an individualized strength plan.
Interested in trying it out or learning more? Ask your PT at your next session and if you’re not already on the calendar, book an eval and we’ll get you started!
