Shockwave Therapy
Here at Darren Potter Osteopathy we have taken delivery of a Storz Medical Radial Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (r-ESWT) device.
Pain Therapy with Pressure Waves.
This is an evidence based treatment that involves passing low energy pressure waves into damaged tissues to increase blood flow and stimulate repair whilst reducing pain and allowing your body to restart its own natural healing process.
How successful is the treatment?
After only 2-3 treatments many patients report complete pain relief or significant pain reduction.
How many sessions are needed?
The amount of sessions will vary dependent on the type of condition being treated, As a rule 3-6 treatment sessions are advised, sessions last 30-45 minutes.
