Some heel and tendon problems hang on for months, even after rest, ice, new shoes and stretching. At Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation of NY & CT (PMR), the shockwave therapy Danbury CT patients receive is a non-surgical type called radial pressure wave (RPW) therapy: quick pulses of pressure sent through the skin into a sore tendon. We offer it at 1 Padanaram Road as part of a plan that includes exercise.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

How radial shockwave therapy works<\/span><\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

A handheld applicator delivers rapid pulses of acoustic pressure to the painful area. Radial devices deliver the most energy right at the skin, and it disperses as it travels deeper, which suits tendons fairly close to the surface.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Researchers think these pulses may prompt a local healing response, increase blood flow, help break down calcium deposits in some tendons and calm pain signals. The exact mechanisms are still being studied. Our main shockwave therapy<\/a> page compares radial and focused devices.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/section>\n
