Radial Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy in Bondi Junction
Health Odyssey Chiropractic offers radial shockwave therapy (RSWT) as part of our holistic approach to musculoskeletal care. This technology delivers acoustic energy to precisely targeted areas of the body. The process is designed to support the body’s natural repair responses and assist in maintaining comfort and function over time.
How It Works
Radial shockwave therapy uses short, high-energy acoustic pulses that begin as a narrow beam and spread outward (radially) through the tissue to affect a wider, shallower area. Research suggests this approach may encourage tissue regeneration, influence pain perception, and enhance local blood flow in some individuals.
When Shockwave Therapy May Be Considered
Radial shockwave therapy may be suitable for people experiencing:
- Shoulder issues: such as rotator cuff tendon discomfort
- Elbow concerns: including medial or lateral epicondylitis (golfer’s or tennis elbow)
- Knee discomfort: such as patellar tendon issues
- Achilles tendon irritation: affecting the back of the heel
- Plantar fasciitis: tightness or irritation under the foot
- Myofascial trigger points: contributing to muscle tension or discomfort
What to Expect
A typical shockwave session lasts around 4-7 minutes within a 15-minute appointment, which may also include other modalities where suitable. You’ll feel a series of light, rapid pulses on the area being worked on, and the intensity can be adjusted for comfort.
Most people attend between six and eight sessions spaced one to two times per week, depending on their goals and response. Your chiropractor may recommend simple movement guidance or soft-tissue techniques to complement your care.
