At Anti-Aging & Laser Institute, we are committed to providing innovative treatments that enhance your overall well-being and healing. One of the most effective therapies we offer is shockwave therapy, a non-invasive treatment designed to accelerate tissue repair and relieve pain. Shockwave therapy has gained widespread recognition for stimulating healing, improving circulation, and breaking down scar tissue. Originally developed for medical conditions like kidney stones, it is now widely used for treating chronic pain, musculoskeletal conditions, and even men’s health issues like erectile dysfunction (ED). Patients have reported significant pain relief, improved mobility, and enhanced recovery after incorporating shockwave therapy into their treatment plans.
If you’re looking for a safe, effective, and non-invasive solution for pain relief, shockwave therapy could be the answer you’ve been waiting for. Schedule a consultation with us at Anti-Aging & Laser Institute in Providence, RI, and receive personalized treatment based on your needs and goals.
The number of sessions required depends on your condition and how your body responds to treatment. On average, most patients experience significant relief within 3 to 5 sessions, typically spaced one week apart. In cases of chronic plantar fasciitis, some individuals may require up to 6-8 treatments for optimal results. Since shockwave therapy stimulates tissue repair, improvements continue after the sessions. Many patients notice a gradual reduction in pain and increased mobility after just one or two treatments.
When performed by an experienced provider, shockwave therapy is safe and does not cause nerve damage. The treatment uses controlled acoustic waves that penetrate the soft tissues without harming surrounding nerves. While mild discomfort or temporary numbness can sometimes occur immediately after the procedure, long-term nerve damage is extremely rare.
It is recommended to avoid vigorous exercises for at least 24 to 48 hours following a shockwave therapy session. This allows your body to fully benefit from the treatment by reducing inflammation and promoting tissue healing.
Some patients report feeling slightly fatigued or drained after a shockwave therapy session. The fatigue is typically mild and temporary, lasting a few hours to a day. Staying hydrated, getting adequate rest, and allowing your body time to recover can help minimize any feelings of exhaustion after treatment.
Results can last for months or even years, depending on the condition treated. For chronic conditions, occasional maintenance sessions may be suggested to sustain results.
Absolutely! It’s a clinically proven, FDA-approved treatment with minimal side effects. Most patients experience only mild discomfort or temporary redness at the treatment site, which usually disappears within a few hours. Shockwave therapy is safe, effective, and tolerable when performed by a qualified provider.
