What is Shockwave Therapy?

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.

  1. Chronic pain

  7. Tennis elbow
  8. Hip pain
  9. Knee pain
  10. Achilles tendon pain
  11. Trigger points
  12. 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.

What Does the Patient Feel?

Patients may experience:
  • Tapping or pulsing sensation
  • Mild discomfort over injured tissue
  • Tenderness in very inflamed areas
  • Relief or loosening after treatment
