Radial Pressure Wave (RPW) Therapy
A helping hand for your recovery. Radial Pressure Wave (RPW) therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses acoustic pressure waves to generate oscillations in tissue — helping reduce pain and support healing, in less time and with less effort.
What Is Radial Pressure Wave Therapy?
Radial Pressure Wave (RPW) therapy uses acoustic pressure waves to generate oscillations in the tissue. These waves promote blood flow, activate connective tissue, and help reduce muscle pain — aiding in the treatment of trigger points, tendinitis, and other musculoskeletal conditions of the foot and ankle.
What Areas Can RPW Treat?
- Achilles tendon pain
- Plantar fasciitis & heel pain
- Ankle pain
- Foot and lower leg pain
What Are the Benefits of RPW?
- Short treatment time (about 10 minutes)
- Treats large areas at once
- Non-invasive, with no known significant adverse effects
- Muscle massage with a vibrating applicator
- Results in as few as 4–6 treatments
- A non-surgical alternative to medication
What to Expect
What Does RPW Feel Like?
Patients may notice soreness and a thumping sensation when the treatment head passes over dysfunctional tissue, and very little discomfort over healthy tissue. The level of discomfort depends on the area being treated, the settings used, and the severity of the condition. Minor post-treatment soreness around the treated area is not uncommon.
How Long Do Treatments Last?
About 10 minutes.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
Generally 4–6 treatments. The exact number will be determined based on your results and your therapist’s discretion.
What Do Patients Say?
“How is this even possible after only one treatment, I can’t believe how good I feel and how much motion I have. I have been in therapy for months, had injections, been on medication for pain and now I feel great with one treatment of this machine. Why doesn’t everyone have this in the clinic?”
— Diane, patient
“I canceled the MRI and the surgical consult and my pain level is almost non-existent, this thing has been amazing. I am 90% back to work already.”
— Joe, patient
