The Richmar SW1 Shockwave is a non-invasive therapy device that uses acoustic pressure waves (sound waves) to stimulate healing in injured or painful tissues.
Shockwave therapy helps “wake up” areas of the body that may have poor healing, chronic inflammation, scar tissue buildup, or tight/degenerative tissue.
It is commonly used for:
Chronic pain
Tendon injuries
Muscle tightness
Scar tissue and adhesions
Plantar fasciitis
Shoulder pain
Tennis elbow
Hip pain
Knee pain
Achilles tendon pain
Trigger points
Calcifications
How Does Shockwave Work?
Shockwave sends high-energy acoustic waves into the tissue. These waves help:
Increase blood flow
Stimulate the body’s natural healing response
Break up scar tissue/calcifications
Improve cellular repair
Reduce chronic inflammation
Decrease pain signals
Improve mobility and function
Think of it as “stimulating healing” in tissue that has become stuck, irritated, or chronically inflamed.
