What Does Shockwave Therapy Feel Like?
Most people describe shockwave therapy as a series of rapid pulses over the affected area. Depending on the tissue and how sensitive the area is, it may feel strange, intense, or briefly uncomfortable, but treatment settings can usually be adjusted.
Why It Feels Different Depending On The Area
Some tissues are more reactive than others. A highly irritated tendon or sensitive area may feel sharper or more intense than a less reactive area. The goal is not to overwhelm the tissue, it is to apply treatment at a useful level.
What People Often Notice Afterward
Many people feel soreness for 2 to 3 days afterward, similar to how you might feel after a strong workout or deep soft-tissue work. There is no surgical-style downtime, so most people return to normal daily activity right away.
How Long Does A Visit Take?
Treatment visits are typically about 30 minutes long and often happen as part of a short series of 4 to 8 visits, depending on the condition and response.
